Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is the subject of widespread debate, which tends to centre on its integrity. Are the initiatives ‘genuine’, or are they motivated by a firm’s desire to enhance its reputation? Does it matter what the motivation is, as long as some improvements are made? In this book, Sheila Killian asks:

  • What exactly is CSR?
  • Is it donating the company’s money and time to charity in a sort of conspicuous altruism, or is it about doing the basic things well?
  • What are the areas of concern: the environment, product safety, etc.?
  • Are firms responsible for their supply chain?
  • And how can the message best be communicated to a cynical world?

This book addresses these questions in two ways. Part I comprises eight chapters covering the theory and practice of CSR. It presents the definitions and origins of CSR, the main formal and informal drivers of the practice and a comprehensive taxonomy of the areas of concern to a modern firm, including the supply chain. Part II then relates the experiences of eight Irish organisations, from different sectors, in implementing a CSR strategy.
