Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) aims to mediate between business interests and local communities. It consists of social, economic, ethical and environmental dimensions. Established studies, however, indicate that the economic profit remains to be the most visible objective of CSR activities, which in turn engenders massive disaffection and resistance to the programs. This article offers a new framework for CSR through which applicable policies can be formulated to renegotiate the disintegrative aspects of corporate and community interactions in an Indonesian context. The idea encompasses both regulatory and operational principles enabling for the enlargement of the ethical component of CSR.
