Today I listed to a radio show here in the UK with the focus on CSR and one of the guests in the station was a self declared CSR critic.
His main argument against promoting CSR best practice for organizations was that:
“CSR only costs companies money. And by following the CSR route we will make the world a poorer and over regulated place.”
What a statement. This statement really made angry and just showed me how much work we still need to do to convince skeptics but especially the public that CSR best practice is common business best practice.
Here is the link to the radio show for you to make up your own mind:

The show is about an hour but really worth listening too. I can only recommend it.
