Corporate Social Responsibility and the Environment : A Theoretical Perspective

We survey the growing theoretical literature on the motives for and welfare effects of corporate greening.

Welfare effects of CSR are subtle and situation-contingent, and there is no guarantee that CSR enhances social welfare. We identify numerous areas in which additional theoretical work is needed
