Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can mean different things to different people. Much can depend upon the social context in which discussion of CSR arises and attitudes towards CSR within and across a board, company and its stakeholders are formulated, and how it is adopted and deployed. The purpose of this Theme Paper is to explore areas on the agenda for the forthcoming 19th International Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility. It suggests issues and questions that speakers and participants might wish to consider ahead of the event and discuss with their peers when they meet. Areas covered include the board’s role in shifting from compliance to impact-driven strategies, an agenda for responsible CSR beyond governance, aligning businesses with ESG and assessing sustainability impacts, promoting societal diversity, equity and inclusion through CSR, CSR and DEI for environmental responsibility and a sustainable future, CSR measurement and accountability, maintaining CSR and sustainability momentum, and CSR leadership in an era of uncertainty and insecurity. Boards need to consider what they can do to (a) ensure those for whom they are responsible better understand the causes and common features of current global risks and existential threats, requirements for effective responses, possible obstacles to them and how these might be overcome, and (b) safeguard, protect and support an environment in which they and their companies are free to operate and innovate, and be enterprising and entrepreneurial.
