Abstract

A concise account of corporate responsibility (CR) is provided to facilitate a later comparison of CR and responsible research and innovation. The chapter clarifies the concept by discussing different types of corporate responsibilities and explaining their links with similar concepts such as corporate sustainability, corporate accountability, corporate citizenship and corporate social performance. One focus is on how to develop a CR strategy and the main topics that firms need to pay attention to when doing so. Another focus is the benefits stemming from engagement in CR activities.
