Maatschappelijk Verantwoorde Multinationals? (RNW, 2 sept)
Rob Bleijerveld - 24.08.2007 20:51
Radio Nederland Wereldomroep zendt op 2 september een (Engelstalig) discussie uit over het wel of wee van maatschappelijk verantwoord ondernemen (CSR) door multinationals. Luisteraars kunnen voor 29 augustus hun vragen en opmerkingen insturen.
Can Multinationals do good deeds?
One of the hottest buzz phrases in the business world is 'corporate social responsibility' - CRS for short. Thousands of companies - especially multinationals - now proudly parade their CRS credentials.
'CSR' can refer to anything from ethical supply chains to carbon trading to human rights. But many critics remain highly sceptical. They claim CSR is, at best, mere window dressing and, at worst, a complete con. These critics would rather have harsher, legally enforceable ways of holding businesses accountable, and forcing them to behave decently towards the wider world.
Do you believe in multinational companies doing good deeds? Or are much-trumpeted CSR initiatives more often cynical PR tools?
Amsterdam Forum brings together experts from all sides to discuss the issue.
