Remember:
– CSR is written by the company so it is written in a favourable manner to the company, they show a reality that they would like which may not be true
– Certain aspects of the csr do not provide an appropriate solution but show the illusion that they do
– CSR leave out a lot of unfavourable information
– CSR is usually not done as a morale obligation to society or ecological issues but as a defence mechanism, a marketing tool and risk management to show they care and are doing what they can to solve issues that they are most likely apart of.
– A capitalist society which values profit and capita swell as making shareholders happy over the social and ecological concerns force companies to also value this because if they do not they will not be able to compete with other companies and a capitalist market values competition.
