Corporate Social Responsibility in Ghana: Issues and Concerns

Sam Sarpong

A chapter in Corporate Social Responsibility in Times of Crisis, 2017, pp 191-205 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) remains a new concept in Ghana albeit a thriving one which has now engaged the attention of many businesses. Its relative freshness perhaps accounts for its amorphous nature as many businesses seek to propound their involvement in CSR even though such involvement very often amounts to something purposely altruisticaltruistic and quite negligible and, at times, clearly done on ad hoc basis. Whilst CSR-related activities have become common, the scope is still limited in terms of the general ‘drivers’ of CSR or ‘the core priority issues.’ The chapter looks at the situation and sets out the parameters within which CSR operates in Ghana.
