企业社会责任(CSR)已经成为一个广泛使用的术语,用来描述大公司如何采取措施和政策,以遏制其运营对周围环境和社区的潜在负面影响。 但企业所宣称的企业社会责任行为很难得到证实。 This brief calls for the development of a “Corporate Social Conscience Index” as a mechanism for exerting some degree of transparency and accountability for CSR programs of large multinational companies. The author argues that by developing an index that provides insights to corporations’ excessive, unproductive spending as well as their activities related to environmental sustainability, job creation, and supply chain transparency, consumers along with policy makers, employees and researchers would be able determine whether a corporation is truly practicing corporate social responsibility and pressure more corporations to adopt meaningful CSR programs.
