Corporate social responsibility (CSR) continues to be an important topic within the business community and equally so within the research community. As all concerned will understand, this is a very broad topic covering a wide range of issues; moreover, these issues continue to change and develop over time, so the most important topics now are very different to those a very few years ago and will almost certainly be different and continue to develop and change in the future. Although CSR is a term which is well known, it is normally interpreted to be concerned with the management of a business. Indeed, everyone might think that they can talk knowledgeably about it, but many do not even believe that issues involved in CSR are far wider than just human rights and governance. Issues such as natural environment, energy production and consumption, water, sustainable consumption, artificial intelligence, and human and animal health are just a few examples of issues to be tackled within the field of social responsibility.
