| Abstract: | This paper reports on research exploring the perceived relationship btw. corporate governance (here as: c-gov.) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) from main board directors' and company secretaries' perspective in 13 FTSE 100 companies in the U.K. Based on data analysis, a significant alignment btw. the c-gov. and CSR programmes within the sample companies is found. Key influencers for this convergence were seen to be regulatory pressure, the rise of business ethics and demands from SRI investors. As such, it is found that businesses are starting to look beyond financial accountability as the sole route to creating shareholder value etc. |
