Research paper
Global and technological stakes of corporate social responsibility.
About the research
This co-authored paper studies corporate social responsibility as a global normative system. It asks how standards and enforcement mechanisms change the apparently voluntary character of corporate commitments.
The discussion connects codes of conduct with audits, compliance and technologies such as blockchain, big data and algorithms. It also examines the role corporate lawyers play in designing and implementing these systems.
Reading notes
The abstract links multilateral standards with mechanisms that make commitments effective in practice. That combination is central to the paper’s account of corporate responsibility.
Audit, compliance and technological enforcement are examined together. The paper argues that this development gives corporate lawyers an important role in the system’s design.
