Abstract: Abstract By and large, it is safe to assert that we have now passed the stage where modern scholars or anyone else are still debating or contending whether or not corporate social responsibilityresponsibility is a desirable field. The field has now been fully accepted globally and is now talked about seriously in all countries around the world in terms of how global citizens—corporates and individuals should take concerted efforts to practice and demonstrate their awareness of CSRCSR and what it expects from us all. What I believe is now debatable is how we should all ensure that the field continues to thrive and advance in progress in every corners of the world. Advancing progress in CSR should actually be all global citizens’ business and goal. Doing this should hopefully provide answers to many of our world’s lingering social, economic and environmental problems, especially those problems which are still pervading the CSR’s arena for example; climate changechange , waste management and irresponsible use of our depletable resources. We still need to demonstrate that we are serious in executing what sustainable development means to us, what it requires from us all and how the needs of future generations of all inhabitants of our planet would be sustainably met, these are what I believe are still our debatable issues.
