Corporate Social Responsibility is more on the agenda than ever. The introduction of the Triple Bottom Line (1994) and the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals have pushed companies to take Corporate Social Responsibility to the next level.

In other words: Is Corporate Social Responsibility used by companies as a defence against making radical changes to their business?
