Dr. Stephanie Hill, a lecturer at the University of Leicester, asks the big questions about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): When a company does something generous, how can we tell if it's truly altruistic or just a strategic move? Is CSR really making a positive impact, or is it all just a facade to improve brand image? In this video, Dr. Hill breaks down the complexities of CSR, from charitable donations to environmental initiatives, and explores the dangers of greenwashing.
👉 Key questions explored in this video:
â—Ź Are companies genuinely doing good, or are they just boosting their brand?
â—Ź How can we hold corporations accountable for their social responsibility claims?
â—Ź Is CSR all about profits, or can it truly benefit communities and the environment?
â—Ź How can we spot greenwashing and distinguish between real actions and empty promises?
Dr. Hill uses examples like Patagonia’s climate change efforts and ExxonMobil’s greenwashing campaign to show the importance of transparency in CSR.
