Chapter 1: Understanding Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Jammy: Hello Canny! I'm thrilled that you're interested in learning about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It's an essential topic in the business world today. So, let's dive in! CSR is all about how companies can positively impact society and the environment while conducting their business. Canny: Hi Jammy! I'm excited to learn more. Can you give me a clear definition of CSR? Jammy: Sure, Canny! Corporate Social Responsibility, or CSR, refers to a company's commitment to act ethically and contribute to the well-being of society beyond its core business activities. It means going beyond just making profits and considering the social and environmental implications of business decisions. Canny: That sounds great! Why is CSR becoming so important nowadays? Jammy: Excellent question, Canny! As consumers and stakeholders become more conscious of social and environmental issues, they expect companies to be responsible and sustainable. CSR helps build trust, enhance reputation, and foster a positive brand image, which can attract customers and investors who value companies that care about society. Canny: I see! How does CSR benefit the community and the environment? Jammy: CSR initiatives can have a significant impact on society and the environment. Companies may support local communities through projects like education programs, health initiatives, or supporting underprivileged groups. Regarding the environment, CSR can involve reducing carbon emissions, promoting renewable energy, and implementing eco-friendly practices. Canny: That's impressive! Does CSR only benefit society, or can it also help businesses? Jammy: Absolutely! CSR can be a win-win situation for both businesses and society. By acting responsibly, companies can improve their reputation, attract top talent, and increase customer loyalty. Moreover, CSR initiatives can lead to cost savings through energy efficiency and waste reduction. Canny: How do companies decide on their CSR initiatives? Jammy: Companies usually assess their stakeholders' interests and the issues relevant to their industry. They identify areas where they can make a positive impact and align those with their core values and business objectives. Collaborating with stakeholders like employees, customers, and NGOs can also help in shaping effective CSR strategies. Canny: I'm curious, Jammy. Is CSR mandatory for all companies? Jammy: CSR isn't mandatory, but it's becoming increasingly expected and encouraged. Some countries have regulations on specific CSR aspects, while others rely on voluntary initiatives. However, responsible businesses understand the importance of CSR and willingly embrace it to create a positive influence. Canny: Got it! Are there any challenges companies face while implementing CSR? Jammy: Yes, there can be challenges. Some companies may struggle with resource constraints or difficulty in measuring the impact of their initiatives. Balancing short-term financial goals with long-term social and environmental objectives can also be a challenge. However, with proper planning and commitment, these challenges can be overcome. Canny: This has been incredibly insightful, Jammy! Thank you for sharing your expertise on CSR. Jammy: You're welcome, Canny! It's been a pleasure discussing CSR with you. Remember, CSR is an ongoing journey, and it's heartening to see your enthusiasm for learning about it. Key Takeaways: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) involves a company's commitment to act ethically and contribute to society and the environment. CSR is essential for building trust, and reputation, and attracting socially conscious customers and investors. CSR benefits both the community and businesses, fostering a positive impact and cost savings. Companies decide on their CSR initiatives by assessing stakeholders' interests and aligning them with their values and objectives. While not mandatory, CSR is becoming expected and encouraged, driving responsible businesses to embrace it. Challenges in CSR implementation include resource constraints and measuring impact, but they can be overcome with dedication and planning.

Based on the idea that strategic CSR offers the most holistic and effective approach to corporate social responsibility, the author presents the key concepts, theories and philosophical approaches to CSR, along with the practical tools needed to implement this knowledge in the real world.

In recent years, the longstanding debate between shareholder-oriented and stakeholder-oriented models of corporate governance for large listed, or "public" corporations, has experienced a resurgence. Simultaneously, a wave of new regulations has reshaped the legal landscape, compelling businesses to integrate public objectives - such as environmental protection or the social interests of specific stakeholder groups - into their decision-making processes, which were traditionally driven solely by profitability considerations. Against this background, the book brings together economic, comparative, historical, and doctrinal perspectives of scholars from US and European legal academia. The ongoing discourse regarding the fundamental role of public corporations in economies and society is vivid and rather different, across Europe, and the US. Filling a gap in comparative literature on these themes, this volume further explores commonalities across these varying legal landscapes, while remaining cognizant of distinct, cultural, legal, and economic contexts. Most strikingly, the contributions here point to the European emphasis on stakeholder-oriented regulation, in contrast to the US-American focus on shareholder value. Providing a comprehensive analysis of recent legal developments in this space, this volume serves as an essential theoretical guide to debates around corporate purpose, CSR, and ESG today.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) continues to grow as an area of interest in academia and business. Encompassing broad topics such as the relationship between business, society, and government, environmental issues, globalization, and the social and ethical dimensions of management and corporate operation, CSR has become an increasingly interdisciplinary subject relevant to areas of economics, sociology, and psychology, among others. New directions in CSR research include advanced 'micro' based investigations in organizational behaviour and human resource management, additional studies of environmental social responsibility and sustainability, further research on 'strategic' CSR, connections between social responsibility and entrepreneurship, and improvements in methods and data analysis as the field matures. Through authoritative contributions from international scholars across the social sciences, this Handbook provides a cohesive overview of this recent expansion. It introduces new perspectives, new methodologies, and new evidence from a range of disciplines to encourage and facilitate interdisciplinary research and global implementation of corporate social responsibility.

Presents an organizational perspective of social enterprises, which allows us to analyze issues such as their governing structure, their modes of operation and their marketing strategies, and to begin to formulate some theoretical constructs on how these entities can survive and thrive.
