Opposing Creation of Shared Value (CSV)

This paper argues against the implementation of Creating Shared Value (CSV) as it ignores the tension between social and economic goals and promotes corporate cherry-picking and whitewashing. The paper uses the Globex Shipping Case study to demonstrate how CSV facilitates corporations to concentrate on easy wins, whereas leaving unsettled deeply-rooted social concerns to which they remain connected. The paper concludes that the interests of corporate (ship owners) can never and shall never provide a sufficient ground for solving pressing social and environmental issues being faced in this case, despite the promised that Kramer and Porter made in CSV arguments.
