Radical transparency is indeed part of the solution, so long as it goes beyond what I call Promotional CSR in an Age of Marketing. <br /><br />Keep up the good work.<br />WayneWayne Visserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965750553246267206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658919619436288814.post-8456952623570027312012-03-05T07:48:40.098-08:002012-03-05T07:48:40.098-08:00Really enjoyed this blog post.

Too much CSR (CSR 1.0 as you call it) is about businesses spinning the positives and glossing over the negatives, or ignoring them altogether. Far from being 'part of the solution', when the public are exposed to CSR output which appears little more than an attempt to buy licence to operate, to continue with business as usual - i.e. exploiting stakeholders and offloading costs onto society and the environment - trust and reputation will only be further eroded. Public trust in business is a prerequisite to a more sustainable future. We advocate radical transparency as a means for businesses to show whose side they are really on and to build that trust. Part of your 'CSR 2.0'? http://www.profitthroughethics.comMichael Solomonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637999638198854551noreply@blogger.com
