摘要: Ralph Hamann and Paul Kapelus argue that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)-related narratives practices can be fruitfully assessed with reference to accountability fairness as key criteria. Brief case studies of mining in South Africa Zambia suggest there are still important gaps between companies’ CSR activities, on the one hand, fairness, other. The conclusion is CSR-related claims, particularly a business for voluntary initiatives, need treated caution. not necessarily or only greenwash, but engage critically towards more sincere versions CSR.
