Abstract: | The results of the literature review uncover that there is clear empirical evidence for a positive correlation btw. corporate social and financial performance. Voices stating the opposite refer to out-dated material. Since the beginning of the CSR debate, societies have changed. Thus, it can be clearly stated that, for the present Western society, "Good ethics is good business". |
