After a successful first call for entries for the Encyclopedia on Corporate Social Responsibility in July 2021, we are pleased to announce a second call for entries.

Purpose of the Encyclopedia

The International Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility (ICCSR), Nottingham University Business School, is editing an Encyclopedia on Corporate Social Responsibility that will be the most up to date compilation of knowledge on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) when published in 2023. It will discuss the evolution of and future for CSR, as well as situate CSR in relation to the themes of sustainability, stakeholder management, governance, and business and human rights.

The Encyclopedia has the following aims:

1. To offer comprehensive guidance on CSR;
2. To critically present the evolution of CSR;
3. To discuss the state of the art within the field of CSR (such as key concepts, debates frameworks, standards, measures, and practices);
4. To demonstrate the impacts of CSR;
5. To discuss the future of CSR.
