    Corporate social responsibility, resilience and sustainability

    Abstract

    Corporate social responsibility is an often used term, but what does it mean in practice? As governance is increasingly seen as more of a market responsibility what does that look like in practice?

    Description

    This growing body of research considers the basis of what we believe responsibility to be and where responsibility sits in terms of some of the real challenges the food chain now faces as a result of globalisation, resource use, safety and integrity of food and supply chain resilience.
