CSR
CSR is the corporate ritual of momentarily suspending profit motives to stage a noble display of social contribution. Its true aim is less to save the world than to harvest public praise and woo investors through well-timed photo ops. With polished reports and Instagrammable volunteer events, companies don the facade of benevolence and future-minded vision. Thus CSR becomes the economic justice mask that soothes the guilt of both corporations and consumers alike.
