Tobias Webb discusses social issues and sustainability in business. He outlines that Stakeholder Intelligence publishes the business magazine Ethicalcorp and reports on issues where environment and human rights intersect, such as the detention of Greenpeace activists in Russia. Webb then discusses forced child labor and steps companies can take to address human rights issues in their supply chains. He concludes that social and environmental issues are highly interlinked today and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights provide a framework for companies.

A look at Nike's approach to Corporate Social Responsibility as a Crisis Management Tool. This case study is designed to draw attention to the ethical quagmire that is CSR. Particularly the arguements that it looks good on paper but not in reality. It will also look at some theoretical approaches to divising a CSR strategy.
This isn't an attack on Nike, but is looking at the reports against the company and their "reported" responses as food for thought.

India's ancient wisdom, which is still relevant today, inspires people to work for the larger objective of the well-being of all stakeholders. For example, our Rushees, Munees and Saints preached us to serve the society. The idea of CSR first came up in 1953 when it became an academic topic in HR Bowen’s “Social Responsibilities of the Business”. Since then, there has been continuous debate on the concept and its implementation. Although the idea has been around for more than half a century, there is still no clear consensus over its definition. Post 1991, there is increasingly a receding role of the state in the economic and social sphere. An increasing acceptance of CSR by large number of corporate, post liberalization can thus be seen in the context of the larger role being consciously carved for the private sector in an economy which was earlier largely controlled and managed by the State. The corporate world is keen to exploit the opportunities that are being provided by the new economic outlook of the State. Today, 93% of the world’s largest 250 companies now publish annual corporate responsibility reports, almost 60% of which are independently audited.
CSR is an increasingly important topic for business students. This revision presentation explains the basic theory behind CSR and outlines the main arguments for and against implementing CSR. Various case studies are also provided together with links to further research.
