Abstract

This study investigates the urgency of rethinking the responsibilities that central and local governments play in developing corporate social responsibility and the various shapes that this rethinking might take. Corporate social responsibility aims to strike a balance between profit, environmental sustainability, and community welfare, also known as the “triple bottom line.” The central government and the local government each play an essential part in this context. This investigation uses a normative-empirical legal method, with the primary attention being directed toward transitioning corporate social responsibility from moral duty to legal accountability. The paper discusses the difficulties of attaining social justice by implementing corporate social responsibility. Using a conceptual approach, the research is descriptive-analytical and investigates various views and theories within legal studies. The findings point to the necessity of rethinking the kinds of obligations that fall under the purview of the government. The coordination of programs for corporate social responsibility, the formulation of policies, standards, and guidelines, as well as the supervision and assessment of these programs, must be carried out by both the central government and the local governments. Through the implementation of legislation, social justice must be realised to establish a mutually beneficial relationship between corporations, society, and the environment. © 2024, Pakistan Society of Criminology.
