The Smoke and Mirrors Game of Global CSR Reporting : Anthem Press : 9781839988066 : 1839988061 : 16 May 2023 : This book examines corporate social responsibility reporting systems. Corporate social responsibility or CSR is the idea that corporations should act ethically, with a sense of obligation to society beyond financial return. In this book, we focus on the main ways that corporations report at the global level on their CSR activities. We find that the main reporting systems, whether administered through the UN through The Global Compact, or through the various financial reporting systems such as Bloomberg, are fundamentally flawed. In fact, it would be very hard for an ethical investor or consumer to find accurate information. We close the book with suggestions on how to reform the CSR system so that corporations can be held accountable and feel incentivized to do the right thing.
