The latest issue of LawNow Magazine looks at Corporate Social Responsibility.
Margo Till-Rogers writes in Online Law Column: Resources about Corporate Social Responsibility:

“The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) draws together social, environmental and economic concerns with a view to making organizations not only fiscally responsible, but socially responsible. Through community investment, environmental stewardship and ethical employment practices, corporations, government and non-profit organizations demonstrate their commitment to good corporate citizenship.”

Canadian businesses operating around the world are discovering that corporate social responsibility is not only the right thing to do, but also can be good for business!
Our feature articles this issue look at the issue of corruption and the complexity of the ethics of corporate social responsibility. Our contributors dissect three examples: the British Petroleum disaster, the case of Niko Resources Ltd., and the Chevron Corp. vs. Naranjo.
The unique special report looks at where the limits of the law are tested. In “Which Passport Should I Take to the Olympic Games?”, Hilary Findlay discusses legal issues that will arise with new drug testing standards in place for the 2012 Olympics. “Human Trafficking: A Call for Reform” looks at the reality of human trafficking within Canada, and specifically in Calgary, and summarizes research on what has been done and how the law can help counter this terrible crime. Finally, we have “What Ever Happened to… Jim Keegstra”, an example that freedom of expression is not absolute and the content of one’s expression can be criminal. The article also explains how criminal law may be a poorly suited instrument to achieve social control.
Our usual columns round out the issue, including “Employment Law: Avoiding Conflict – 6 steps to keeping the peace”, and Rosemarie Boll’s follow-up to her column in the last issue, “Family Law: Opening Closed Doors – The Downside of Suing your Abuser”.
