Before then, Burges Salmon hosts an event looking into fracking and this is a roundtable discussion organised by UWE’s Business and Society Partnership. The underlying rationale of the roundtables is to consider what corporate social responsibility (CSR) means today to industry and society. The idea is to create a platform and facilitate a dialogue between the various stakeholders — industry, NGOs, advisors to the industry, government, members of Parliament, local authorities and academics — in the South West with the aim to take stock of the current law and practice in relation to CSR and to suggest proposals for reform whenever needed.
