Abstract
The turn of the new millennium saw considerable anticipation of improved business engagement with social and environmental responsibility. In this paper, we unearth key themes within the discourse of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as seen in the academic literature and among leading business practitioners and contrast these with the findings of a longitudinal analysis of trends in firm engagement with CSR which demonstrates the very modest progress made in this arena over the same period. Subsequently, we critically examine evidence in respect of the business case for CSR and draw a number of implications for research, practice, and public policy.
