"This is a vital topic for todays students of public relations and strategic communications to explore: without communication, there is no CSR. However, the strategic use of communication to promote understanding of a corporations pro-social actions needs to be undertaken ethically. Doing this requires that practitioners have a comprehensive knowledge of both the practical challenges of communicating CSR and the criticisms about the ways that communication of this type can be used unethically. This book does a service to its reader by addressing both topics."

"Corporate Social Responsibility Communication is grounded in Stoicism, bridging strategic and critical CSR perspectives. Through three phasesReflection-for-Action, in-Action, and on-Actionthis original framework guides ethical decision-making and learning. Combining theoretical clarity with case studies, it is valuable for students and practitioners alike." Professor Øyvind Ihlen, University of Oslo, Norway
"This book delivers what CSR communication research needs at this moment. Dhanesh offers a nuanced and theoretical way to think about the tensions and paradoxes that influence CSR communicative practices. She successfully brings disparate ideas together to holistically examine CSR strategies and outcomes across contexts and cases. A must read!"
Amy O'Connor, University of Minnesota, USA
"Given the long-standing lack of a solid theoretical framework for CSR communication, the proposed Reflective CSR communication framework is a particularly valuable and timely contribution. It offers a refreshing perspective by bringing Stoic philosophy into CSR communication." Sora Kim, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China
