PurposeThe aim of the paper is to show that, among business students, care ethics is a determinant for CSR perception and stakeholder inclusion.Design/methodology/approachThe research was conducted utilising a quantitative approach. The population for this study consisted of students from a leading French business school.FindingsStakeholder inclusion is related to care ethics among students. CSR perception is related to stakeholder perception. CSR perception is related to care ethics.Research limitations/implicationsPopulation sampled has cultural and curricula specificities. Further research should extend the findings to other populations.Practical implicationsIf business schools want their students to implement CSR when they later become managers, they should build a bridge in the curriculum between business ethics education based on care theory (“educare”) and CSR teaching.Originality/valueEmpirical exploration of the relationship between teaching CSR and teaching care ethics has not been undertaken. Relationship between care ethics and stakeholder theory has been addressed in the literature but only from a theoretical perspective and not from an empirical perspective.
