Abstract: Abstract This chapter analyzes the phenomenon that the corporate responsibility concept is currently very much en vogue with both managers and politicians. The chapter explains the problems of businesses and society which the use of the semantics of responsibility is supposed to solve. Referring to the ideas introduced in Chaps. 1 and 2 – that production processes have intended, as well as unintended (or side) effects –, we can answer the question “Quo vadis, social responsibility?” by saying that social responsibility can lead into a responsibility trap.
