Abstract

In this chapter the role of CSR in the fight against corruption is explored. Discussions on corruption and its effects, especially the negative ones on societies and corporations, as well as on how the CSR-related instruments presented in the previous chapter may help in the fight against corruption, are offered. The fight against corruption is analysed as a CSR issue and is presented as an integral part of any corporation’s social responsibility. The issue of how some CSR-related instruments deal with the fight against corruption is addressed. The importance of anti-corruption CSR policies and the reporting thereof is outlined as a basis for an effective fight against corruption and associated phenomena.
