"The rhetoric of corporate social responsibility outweighs the reality" Guardian.com
Found this article from the guardian on the development aspects of CSR. Its interesting to get another opinion on how CSR is still only seen as a marketing ploy.
One quote from the guardian was:

Nice find!

Oh I just repaired the link - it didn't work for some reason.
ReplyDeleteAnd I added the pic from the article (right click "copy the image location" and then add image and paste in as URL) so that it doesnt get lost amongst all the videos!
