This article aims at exploring the benefits and challenges of CSV and, by following the Porter and Kramer (2011) approach, designing response measures to tackle challenges. CSV stresses on needs, rather than wants (demands), that open the horizon of benefitting society and business at the same time. It emphasizes on the fore-end pollution control, rather than the post production clean-away, which protects environment at the outset of production. These are effective ways of befitting society that necessitate related measures from businesses. In addition to positive impacts, CSV faces several challenges that need careful treatments. CSV is incapable of facing the deteriorating income distribution and, hence, unable to effectively deal with the problems of hungry, health, and clean water. This is harmful to the poor. CSV is impotent to resist imports of poor-quality environmental products and is unable to safeguard human rights related issues, which is necessary in expanding the scope of societal value. We propose four measures to deal with these challenges in order to ensure the objective of the CSV and to increase the scope of societal value. |
