In the third issue of EBF (autumn 2000) the question was posed: Will the internet encourage more responsible business? The debate provoked interest not just because of the ‘new’ economy angle but because Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) slowly seems to be moving from the periphery of corporate strategy into mainstream European thinking. Here EBF publishes more contributions to that debate. Valérie Swaen and Isabelle Maignan impressively review some of the recent research in the area and outline a wide variety of definitions and measurement methods useful for executives. Next, Viscount Etienne Davignon describes an important campaign to gather and spread best practice in CSR across Europe, Jane Nelson of the Prince of Wales Business Leaders Forum reviews the obstacles to further progress, and
Judy Kuszewski and Peter Zollinger of Sustainability introduce new research on corporate sustainability reporting. Finally Josep Lozano, a Professor at Esade, Barcelona argues that companies need to go beyond social responsibility and embrace social innovation.
Editor’s Note: I found the contributions by Valérie Swaen & Isabelle Maignan, Jane Nelson, and Judy Kuszewski & Peter Zollinger to be the most worthwhile.
