About “Principles on CSR and CSV”
Background
Ever since the concept of CSV (Creating Shared Value) introduced by Professor Michael Porter (2011) reached Japan, there have been calls to “turn from CSR to CSV” and comments that “CSR is outdated, and the future is in CSV.” Members from various sectors—businesses, NPO/NGOs, consumer groups, think tanks, etc.—who were concerned about the direction the general opinion on CSV was moving in, and the impact on the functions of CSR in Japan, formed a “CSR and CSV study group” and met together for discussion four times since Summer 2013. The “Principle on CSR and CSV” was developed by this group as a compilation of conceptual standards based on ISO 26000 (Guidance on Social Responsibility) and the United Nations’ “Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.”
The Asia-Pacific Human Rights Information Center (HURIGHTS OSAKA) and CSO Network Japan took on the role of administration for the “CSR and CSV study group” discussions.
