Corporate social irresponsibility and the destruction of the corporate image

Abstract

The concept of corporate social irresponsibility appears relatively rarely in literature and public discourse. Companies are more likely to inform about  positive aspects of their non-profit activities (for their employees, local communities, the environment) than about issues that worsen their image and reputation. However, talking about negative aspects of non-commercial activities
seems important and worthwhile as it eliminates pathologies (in terms of  corporate social irresponsibility) and increases social trust in activities related to corporate social responsibility.
