Abstract

The chapter addresses a key gap in the contemporary agenda on ‘corporate responsibility’ or ‘corporate social responsibility’ by looking at the functional role of government in this arrangement. It provides a basis to assess this portent by bringing to the fore the crucial role that governments ought to play, signifying that this ought to be of an equal measure, if not more, in the whole responsibility arrangement. The chapter argues that in the face of mounting criticisms of corporations as to their expected commitments to societies, the emphasis seems to have been lost on governments to provide a just, eco-friendly and sustainable governance for its citizens.
