Introduction

Corporate responsibility is not an added problem or a disruption from assisting our customers; it is an absolutely crucial part of maintaining us as a responsible company". But two unaligned rankings of peak businesses in 2004 entitled Tesco as one of the lowest lawbreakers on social and ecological matters and very powerfully admonished its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report for being incomplete and insufficiently verified. In its glossy 2003/4 CSR reconsider and later public and commerce meetings throughout 2004-2005, Tesco robustly refuted any condemnations flattened contrary to it.

And, as many have observed, with power comes responsibility.

For the most part, CSP is an extension of the concept of CSR that focuses on actual results achieved rather than the general notion of businesses' accountability or responsibility to society. Thus, CSP is a natural consequence or follow-on to CSR. In fact, it could well be argued that if CSR does not lead to CSP then it is vacuous or powerless. Interestingly, many advocates of CSR naturally assume that an assumption of responsibility will lead to results or outcomes. Thus, the distinction between the two is often a matter of semantics that is of more interest to academics than to practitioners. Most of our discussion will be focused on CSR with the general assumption that CSP is a vital ...
