The corporate responsibility agenda is moving well beyond how companies give money away, and on to central questions of how companies relate to the state and to society, how they address their social, political and cultural responsibilities and how, in addressing these issues, they can become more effective companies and organisations. This collection of essays tracks much of the latest thinking on corporate social responsibility, not least the potential opportunities for, and limitations of, companies and corporations conducting their business in a socially responsible manner. This pamphlet represents a timely overview of current thinking on the subject – the contributions highlight not only the concerns of government and of business, to engage with the agenda, but also the pivotal role that corporate responsibility must increasingly have in shaping the public interest across the world.
