Abstract

What indicators could be used to measure what is meant by an SRE? It is easier to devise indicators that measure some aspect of an SRE than to conclude that this particular set of indicators describes what is actually meant by an SRE, and that high scores on each of these indicators thereby defines when a corporation is socially responsible. These questions have been discussed in what could be termed the ‘academic literature’ for many decades. The debate continues, because no general agreement exists on the indicators to be used, their measurement nor what their levels should be. This chapter samples some of the literature that seeks to define and measure the dimensions of what is meant by a socially responsible enterprise. I then use the theory developed to present a set of indicators. In the following chapter, I attempt to apply these indicators empirically.
