“…This growth that has led some observers to espy a brewing ''rankings war'' in which the rankings providers are forced both to imitate and differentiate from one another (Chatterji and Levine 2008;Reputation Institute 2013;Timbers 2012). Some evidence of this war, as noted by Meyer et al (2012), is the great overlap in what the CSR rankings assess. There are multiple rankings, for example, on environmental sustainability (e.g., Forbes' Magazine's Top Ten Green Companies, the Corporate Knight's Global 100 Most Sustainable Companies, Businessweek's Most Sustainable Companies, and Working Mother's Best Green Companies for America's Children).…”

“…These scholars tend to severely downplay the normative pressures and institutional channels by which CSR practices and CSR understandings have emerged, diffused, and entrenched in recent decades so as to become taken for granted aspects of the modern company's identity and organizational structure (Brammer et al 2012;Delmas and Toffel 2004;Lim and Tsutsui 2012;Meyer et al 2012;Shanahan and Khagram 2006). Rather, these scholars tend to separate companies from the societies in which they are embedded and to view their relationships to these societies as hinging on power and reward contests with regulators, consumers, and social movements (Hanlon 2011;Kinderman 2011;Shamir 2004).…”

CSR-Washing is Rare: A Conceptual Framework, Literature Review, and Critique

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Growth in CSR-washing claims in recent decades has been dramatic in numerous academic and activist contexts. The discourse, however, has been fragmented, and still lacks an integrated framework of the conditions necessary for successful CSR-washing. Theorizing successful CSR-washing as the joint occurrence of five conditions, this paper undertakes a literature review of the empirical evidence for and against each condition. The literature review finds that many of the conditions are either highly contingent, rendering CSR-washing as a complex and fragile outcome. This finding runs counter to the dominant perception in the general public, among activists, and among a vocal contingent of academics that successful CSR-washing is rampant.

When comparing the current result with several past researches, which are linked to business and society [36], international business and political behavior, clearly indicates that there is a room for integration of business-conflict linkages in relation to CSR; [21,37]. We consolidate these three streams into a matrix,whichreunites relevant dimensions of CSR, which can serve as a typology of intervention strategies of business firms in disagreement zones.…”

Corporate social responsibility disclosure is part of the service of accounting performance linked to social, economic, environmental dimensions of company program which can play a keen role in developing stakeholders (Society, government, stockholders) trust as well as image of the company. Nevertheless, such perspectives are debatable since there is less agreement on the very purpose of corporate social responsibility of companies. The purpose of this research is to examine relationship between corporate social responsibility disclosures to reduce the disparities in the company performance. Following an interpretive research philosophy, the study used descriptive study design of qualitative research methodology. Design followed 10 years data from a mining company on corporate social responsibility disclosure and did the content analysis from secondary literature. The results of the qualitative study show that the accountability is closely knit with company responsibility which intern influence society, business image and economic development. Research extends practical, policy, theoretical implication of stakeholders and accountability of corporate social responsibility disclosure.

“…The characteristics of the domestic political economy (Kang and Moon 2012), or the variety of capitalism prevailing at the national level (Bair and Palpacuer 2012), is one factor that has been shown to shape CSR activity, while other research on CSR privileges global dynamics. Meyer et al (2015) argue that CSR arose as a way to 'legitimate the multinational corporation in a stateless world', its institutional diffusion across countries reflecting a broader process of structuration in an emergent world society. Others emphasize the role of civil society actors, particularly NGOs, both in criticizing corporate behaviour and in proposing particular reforms or solutions to the problems their activism casts into relief (Bartley 2003;Rodríguez-Garavito 2005;Schurman and Munro 2009).…”

CSR beyond the corporation: contested governance in global value chains

2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The frontier of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is constantly being negotiated by corporate and non-corporate actors that vie to define its meaning and scope. In this article, we explore the relationship between CSR and governance in the context of global value chains that span both organizational boundaries and geographic borders. We draw on the CSR and global value chain literature to highlight the nexus between CSR and what we see as two overlapping dimensions of governance. These are industrial governance (or the coordination of relationships among actors in a global value chain) and global governance (the efforts of non-state actors to manage transnational processes, including via the creation of norms and rules regarding global production). Drawing inspiration from an emergent neo-Gramscian perspective on global value chains, we propose the notion of contested governance to explain how CSR becomes a key domain in which these contending, though potentially complementary, ways of defining and delimiting governance as an analytic concept play out.
