About this subject
In an era of rapid change, Australian and global business environments are driven by a range of corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues. An important issue is whether corporations should be regulated through legislative frameworks or voluntary codes of conduct. With that in mind, this subject explores the interplay of hard law, soft law, self-regulation, and ethical norms and initiatives that aim to make businesses more responsible towards communities, employees and consumers. You'll consider the role played by business, non-governmental organisations, standards organisations, home countries of foreign investors, and others in corporate social responsibility. It also covers mandatory and voluntary implementation of CSR principles. In doing so, you’ll develop your ability to critically assess corporate codes of conduct in comparison to legislative regulatory frameworks and identify the features of effective policy tools. The unit covers CSR in Australian and international contexts.
