| Abstract: | This article assesses corporate policy and practice in terms of corporate social responsibility (CSR) deriving from an analysis of qualitative data, obtained during semi-structured interviews with the representatives of 16 companies from different UK sectors. It is shown that, in spite of genuine attempts on the part of those responsible for CSR policy development to address stakeholder concerns, the context within which CSR has been implemented impedes its potential to offer stakeholders adequate information by which to assess corporate performance in respect of CSR and the ability of CSR to operate as a significant and systematic constraint on corporate behaviour. |
