Abstract

The need for critical (as distinct from corporate) social responsibility is argued by locating the consideration of CSR in the broader socio-political context in Australia. There is a close inter-relationship between societal inequality and violence in various forms and the unsustainability and social injustice of some key Australian mining operations. Several concerning examples of social harm and injustice caused by Australian mining companies are outlined. A more critically informed citizenry and stronger government regulation of the mining sector is recommended to ensure corporate social responsibility is a reality where it is most needed. Specific social pre-cautionary principles are outlined to suggest how the practice of corporate social responsibility can be strengthened.
