Part One has brought us some case studies of firms in Vietnam, the UK, and other parts of the world performing their responsibility through this global crisis. The examples have shown us that:
i) balancing interests of stakeholders is adopted by many forward thinking businesses,
ii) Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goes beyond a one-off charitable giving, and that
iii) the private sector with its diverse resources could be part of the solutions to this on-going battle against Covid19.
This second part reaffirms stakeholders’ power over business and cross-sector collaboration in CSR, as well as suggesting some thoughts for CSR as we come to the other side of this uncertain time.
