| dc.description.abstract | CSR (CSR) has become one of the core concepts in the context of contemporary corporate governance, as there is an increasing demand that corporations ought to incorporate social, environmental and ethical concerns in their businesses. Historically, corporate law was dominated by a great degree of importance on the principles of shareholder primacy which focused on the understanding that the main responsibility of the corporate managers was toward their shareholders, and that they needed to maximise the wealth of the shareholders. This view was most popularly expressed by Milton Friedman who believed that the social responsibility of business was to make more profits within the law of the land.1 Nonetheless, the growth of corporate operations and their devastating effects on societies and nature has brought more and more criticism toward this tunnel vision.At its essentialism, CSR tries to harmonize the growth in economy and the standards of sustainable growth and social responsibility. Instead of profitability being taken as the only goal of the corporate activity, CSR encourages corporate decision making processes to be integrated with environmental protection, ethical business behavior and welfare of the community. The change is the more notable in the industries that can be defined by the intensive extraction of resources, i.e., the oil and gas industry, in particular. The activities of corporate social responsibility2 within these industries tend to cross over with issues affecting the environmental condition, the rights of the indigenous people and developmental issues affecting the region hence increasing the argument of responsible corporate behavior. As a result, CSR has also become realised as one of the means by which corporations are able to deal with the broader implications of their action in society. | |
