"Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is often seen in terms of a company's reputation, but while reputation risk is important, the field is wider than that. CSR is concerned with many aspects of a company's impact, from sourcing to service delivery or product disposal. The most significant issues tend to be human rights, labour conditions and environmental impacts
The risks can directly affect sales, costs, quality and other key aspects of business performance".
