Defining the debate over Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility and Creating Shared Value

By David Bicknell

I came across this article via the always well-informed Tracey Rawling Church at Kyocera Mita through LinkedIn.

It’s about Creating Shared Value (CSV) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) rather than an article about Green IT or low-carbon and it’s from the Guardian’s Sustainable Business pages. .

You probably won’t get any Green IT or sustainability insight from it, but it’s certainly a very good read on getting value from CSR.

There’s one interesting suggestion, that CSR is increasingly being seen as the “new compliance agenda,” with sustainability as the transformational change agenda.

This is an area that’s also beginning to be discussed by the Harvard Business Review community.
