Corporate social responsability: the role of public policy

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) focuses on creating social and environmental value in addition to economic performance: people, planet and profit (or Triple P). Public authorities are increasingly supporting companies that choose to do so. What has become of the Dutch government’s efforts to influence the way companies approach CSR in developing countries? No overarching evaluation of that policy is available. Therefore IOB commissioned this systematic literature review of the effects of government interventions on the CSR behaviour of enterprises in developing countries.
