- Authors
WETTSTEIN, FLORIAN
- Abstract
The article presents a report that contains12 references to the alleged voluntariness of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) concept, which lead on analyzing the role of this assumption in the conventional debate on CSR. It explains how to interpret and understand voluntariness and its significant role for CSR. It examines the concept of voluntariness about moral responsibility in general and particularly with CSR, exploring where the assumption is derived and viewed as plausible on one hand or inherently problematic on the other. It explains that CSR is a normative concept dealing with what corporations should do and how they ought to act. It also addresses two interrelated misconception about the nature of modern ethics and connection of the conceptual CSR nature.
