Corporate Social Responsibility and Development: In quest of an agenda
Tom Fox
Abstract
The contemporary CSR agenda is skewed by the dogma that often limits it to voluntary business activities, by its domination by actors in the North, and its focus on large enterprises. Tom Fox argues there is an urgent need for a more development-oriented approach that focuses on the enabling environment for responsible business in the South and that brings the economic and equity aspects of sustainable development to the forefront of the agenda.
