Regarding what to make of largely voluntary Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)...in the areas of human rights, social and environmental reporting. How much transparency and ethical dealings ought corporations to practice in the international arena and developing countries?

FILM ABSTRACT:
The people all around the world are becoming increasingly dependent on a small number of large multinational businesses...The state loses power at the same rate as businesses gain it. Globalisation has created a context which requires a redefinition of the rules for the global 21st century society.

Within this context rises the debate of Social Corporate Responsibility or of (CSR) companies emerging at the starting point from which they can re-establish the balance between economic development, sustainable environment and the social development needed in order to build the new society that we long for. Even though a gradual interest in Coporate Social Responsibility is being created, as much in business circles as in social circles, the process is still slow.

It is time that we consider the type of society which we wish to build and what role we are going to play in its development. We must assume the role of consumers, workers and of public opinion involved in the application of responsible practices in all aspects of business activity.

A Quote:
"I don't really believe in the consumer's critical attitude...surveys tell us that people have the potential to be responsible consumers. However, I still think we look for a bargain deal rather than a responsible one." (Ramón Jáuregui Atondo: Socialist member of the European Parliament--PSOE)
