Corporate Social Responsibility: A Fig Leaf for Capitalism or Path to a Better World?
Australian tobacco companies tick all the corporate social
responsibility (CSR) boxes on their websites. Yet recent court actions
against plain packaging of cigarettes suggest profits take precedence
over harm reduction – and the companies are continuing their fight with

criticism that CSR is a marketing exercise. Ajnesh Prasad, from the
Australian School of Business, questions whether some corporations are
using CSR as a means to enhance their bottom lines rather than for
social good.
