Abstract

Society's expectations for business are higher than ever. Younger generations believe that organizations that are environmentally and socially conscious are better places to work and the vast majority believe that they will be more loyal to companies that share their values. The responsibilities placed on leaders grow in tandem with the need for social accountability. Gender diversity on corporate boards has been identified as one of the most important drivers of sustainability as well as corporate social responsibility (CSR). Nevertheless, there are the mixed empirical evidences to back up this claim. To fill this void, the purpose of this chapter is to provide readers with a brief overview of theories and empirical evidence supporting the relationship between female directors and CSR. Besides, the chapter attempts to gather the main conceptual contributions on the situation and evolution of the relationship, providing insights regarding future studies.
