The Event

The Politics of CSR: What’s next?

Keynote Speaker:  Professor Jeremy Moon (Copenhagen Business School)

Practitioner Speaker:  Simon Graham (De Courcy Alexander Ltd, London)

The understanding and practice of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has evolved over the last century from a limited to an expanded view of the role of business in society. This evolution has been shaped by historical, social-economic and political events, including the adoption of mandatory CSR (and sustainability/ESG) regulations that reflect ever-changing societal expectations of the social responsibilities and accountabilities of firms.  The idea of social responsibility is inherently political in nature. CSR is constructed differently by various stakeholders in light of their contested expectations of business and the role business actors should play in societal governance beyond the narrow economic ‘can do good’ (make money) by ‘doing good’ (acting responsibly) philosophy. This symposium brings together academics and practitioners to share and discuss the politics of responsibility, accountability and justice, and shape the future agenda for business and society scholarship. This event will also see the launch of a new CSR Encyclopedia: see Concise Encyclopedia of Corporate Social Responsibility (e-elgar.com) edited by members of the ICCSR namely, Lee Matthews, Lara Bianchi and Claire Ingram. For planning purposes, the organisers kindly request you to confirm your attendance by completing this registration form https://forms.office.com/e/R5vCFYbsYv no later than Friday 14 June 2024.
