The Royal Society of Arts (RSA) has opened an online discussion on corporate social
responsibility (CSR), asking whether companies are actually doing anything constructive.

The forum, entitled ‘The Cost of Conscience’, is hosted on the RSA’s Web site is
open to fellows and non-fellows alike. It notes that CSR is fashionable, and asks
whether companies involved “are… just reading the right books and repeating the 
right soundbites?”

So far it has been slow to take off with only four messages posted since it was 
opened on 21 July.
