Abstract | The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility has traditionally been viewed as voluntary actions undertaken by corporations. The European Union, for example, famously defined CSR as “a concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis”. A review of the debate on CSR and regulation undertaken at the turn of the millennium found that when governments felt like intervening in the CSR project, their actions were undertaken explicitly as “pro-CSR initiatives,” rather than (legal) CSR. However, soon afterwards, growing social inequalities exacerbated by corporate social and environmental wrongdoing led to an increasing interest in legal CSR: CSR as mandated by law, as opposed to selfregulation and voluntary codes of conduct merely supported by government action. Accordingly, numerous academic works have endeavoured to elucidate what role the law can play in the CSR project. |
