2. 2. The Market For Virtue

   The Potential and Limits of Corporate Social Responsibility

   

   This book analyzes the rise and limits of corporate social responsibility, arguing that market forces — reputational concerns, consumer and investor pressure, NGO activism and comparative advantage — can and have encouraged firms to adopt more socially and environmentally responsible practices, but only under specific conditions; voluntary codes and private governance often produce uneven and partial results, work best when they align with business interests or when reputational risk is high, and are not a substitute for government regulation and enforcement, so meaningful, widespread improvement typically requires public policy alongside market incentives.
