...than voluntary organisations. The crux of the argument is that regulation needs to be international due to the interconnectedness and interdependence caused by globalisation, and it needs to be mandatory due to the predatory nature of the financial system. Introduction: In light of the 2008 financial crisis, this report will argue for international mandatory regulations in the financial sector to enhance its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The banks for International Settlement and the Basel Committee have made positive steps to enhance understanding of key supervisory issues and improve the quality of banking supervision worldwide (Banks for International Settlement , 2012, [Online]). However, the crisis of 2008 and its devastating effects, not only showed that more effective mandatory regulation needs to be applied to control a predatory industry that is encompassed by unethical practice; but it also exposed the fact that we live in a globalised world. Initiatives such as the Global Compact have championed change in CSR, but are restricted by their...

...responsibility (CSR, also called corporate conscience, corporate citizenship or sustainable responsible business/ Responsible Business)[1] is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. CSR policy functions as a self-regulatory mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards and international norms. In some models, a firm's implementation of CSR goes beyond compliance and engages in "actions that appear to further some social good, beyond the interests of the firm and that which is required by law."[2][3] CSR aims to embrace responsibility for corporate actions and to encourage a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including consumers, employees, investors, communities, and others. The term "corporate social responsibility" became popular in the 1960s and has remained a term used indiscriminately by many to cover legal and moral responsibility more narrowly construed.[4] Proponents argue that corporations increase long term profits by operating with a CSR perspective, while critics argue that CSR distracts from business' economic role. A 2000 study compared existing econometric studies of the relationship between social and financial performance, concluding that the contradictory results of previous studies reporting positive, negative, and neutral financial impact, were due to flawed empirical analysis and claimed when the study is properly specified, CSR has a neutral...

Analysis the article with theories 3.1 Analysing the issue with ethical decision making Ethical is a criterion that people used to measure that whether their behaviour is acceptable by others or social.

This paper examines how India’s top 500 companies view, and conduct their CSR, identifies key CSR practices and maps these against Global Reporting Initiative standards. Design/methodology/approach -It is a cross sectional study which is exploratory in nature. It involved secondary data collection and use of content analysis technique to assess CSR practices of companies operating in India.

The study suggests that business and CSR strategy appear to be on a convergent path, towards business and CSR integration across the company. Out of the top 500 companies, 229 did not report on CSR activities and were therefore filtered. 49% of the remaining 271 companies were reporting on CSR. Many companies are making token gestures towards CSR and only a few companies have a structured and planned approach. Several companies spread their CSR funds very thinly across many activities. Every company defines CSR in their own ways as per their needs. CSR is...
