Nottingham University Business School

International Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility
The aim of the Centre is to 'lead CSR research and teaching' by developing expertise in the conceptualisation, analysis, implementation and verification of CSR, particularly in response to questions such as 'what is CSR activity?', 'why does it take place?', 'how are CSR concepts transferred into practice?' and 'what difference does this make to business, government, governance, non-governmental organisations and society?'
