Legal Transition, Ethical Corporate Social Responsibility, and Environmental Challenges in Pakistan
The Concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is purposed at ensuring business activities are responsible to society, alongside making a profit in businesses. CSR has been marked as a soft law obligation of businesses towards society. However, in recent years, the environmental challenges being faced by the world, particularly the developing world, including Pakistan, require consideration of a transition from a soft law approach to a hard law one. This article sheds light on challenges to the soft law approach while dealing with environmental problems in Pakistan. Although the environment is an international issue and requires to be dealt with internationally, it is argued in this article that consideration of a hard law approach in this regard may bring forth some of the solutions to this menace in Pakistan.
