Corporate Social Responsibly - Real or Just Window Dressing?

Wednesday, after close of conference there was
a fringe sponsored by the Social Market Foundation (SMF). The guest speaker for this was Stephen Timms MP (East Ham and Minster for Competitiveness and also "Corporate Social Responsibility").

In Q&A gave my pennyworth that for many companies, CSR, is indeed just "window dressing" and unless workers who own big chunks of the corporate world via their pension and insurance schemes exercise their rights (and responsibilities) of ownership to make sure that companies do act responsibility. Nothing will in fact change.
