PurposeThis paper takes a critical look at the meaning of corporate social responsibility (CSR) based on the available literature on the subject matter. As CSR is an evolving concept both in meaning and practice, this study aims to highlight CSR actions of the world's six largest organizations (Google, Twitter, Amazon, Apple, ExxonMobil and Walmart). The purpose of choosing these organizations and their CSR adoption was to examine the business-society relationship and the role of key stakeholders in establishing this association.Design/methodology/approachThis study examined CSR through the case study approach and provides valuable insights by showing that CSR is a connecting link between business and society. Specifically, the authors took a crucial look at various contentious, often ambiguous definitions, theoretical framework, brief historical development, issues and controversies surrounding it, the role of CSR in community development and summing it up with the future direction and managerial implications.FindingsThis study observed that there are some developmental strategies taking place today which are relevant to the issue at stake, such as: contributing to the world economy, corporations donating or engaging in a wide range of philanthropic gestures now than ever and contributing to the beauty of the society by meeting rising community expectations.Originality/valueBy analyzing the worlds' 6 largest companies' CSR initiatives, this study provides valuable insights by showing that CSR is a connecting link between business and society and is based on win-win collaborations between civil society, business, investors and government. These companies' CSR initiatives have been mostly unexplored in past studies.

The softness and non-bindingness of international law pose a hindrance in imposing binding human rights obligations on corporations. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) seems to leverage on this normative authority of softness of international law to prevent states from imposing human rights sanctions on corporations. This paper explores the dynamics of CSR strategies in the Nigerian petroleum industry and assesses its effectiveness towards corporate human rights responsibility. The paper makes a case for a new approach to CSR deployment for effective corporate human rights responsibility. The paper contends that the adoption of a National Action Plan (NAP) by Nigeria towards the implementation of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights will change CSR paradigm from the domain of social voluntarism to the realm of legal positivism. By drawing inspiration from these international guiding principles, the paper proposes for a national legal positivist approach to CSR in the oil industry.
