| Tiivistelmä: | It is argued in the paper that key differences btw. the U.K. and the U.S. in the importance ascribed to a company's social responsibilities (CSR) reflect differences in the corporate governance arrangements. Especially, analyzed is the role of a salient type of owner in these countries, institutional investors (here as: i-invs.), in emphasising firm-level CSR actions. Explored are the differences btw. i-invs. concerning CSR. It is drawn on a model of instrumental, relational and moral motives to explore why i-invs. in the U.K. are becoming concerned with firms' social and environmental actions. |
