Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has evolved to become a fundamental component of every organisation. The debate surrounding CSR has moved from whether organisations should practice CSR to how CSR is being practised and its effect on various aspects of the firm and larger society. From its meaning to its scope, the concept of CSR has advanced and continues to advance. This chapter explores the nature of corporate social responsibility in the United Kingdom. It includes how companies practice CSR by examining the various dimensions of CSR issues disclosed in the annual report. It also examines some of the key drivers of CSR as well as the performance effect of CSR. The chapter also presents some organisations promoting CSR in the UK as well as the role of the UK government in CSR.
