Corporate Social Responsibility in the UK



From the most recent copy of Business Ethics :

Fitjar, D.H ( 2011 ) Little big firms ? Corporate social responsibility in small businesses that do not compete against big ones Business Ethics (20) 1 p.30-41

Article contains some good general definitions of CSR, and makes the point that smaller companies are just as likely to come under public scrutiny as large ones. Having a good CSR policy is thus imporatant in distinguishing one small firm from competitors.

In contrast to large companies however there may be less obligation to make CSR policies public.
