Through which channels does the honest business case say CSR pays?
Hints
- The honest channels are risk, talent and cost of capital.
- All three are slow, which rules out any quarterly guarantee.
Show the answer
- A. Lower risk of scandals, fines, and boycotts
- C. Attracting and keeping talent that screens employers
- D. Cheaper capital as ESG funds screen investments
Why
Risk, talent, and capital, all real, all slow. Option 4 is the overclaim that discredits the case: CSR is an insurance-and-reputation asset, and insurance never looks profitable the quarter nothing burns.
