Corporate Social Responsibility in the Malaysian Food Retailing Industry: An Exploratory Study. International Academic Research Journal of Social Science (2): 1. pp. 66-72. (2016)
Abstract
Managers encounter rising demands from multiple stakeholders to devote
resources for corporate social responsibility (CSR) practice. The increasing
importance of CSR practice highlight the need for researchers to continue to
enhance the body of knowledge to offer theoretical and pragmatic insights.
Despite the growing importance of CSR practice in the food supply chain,
little work has been carried out to explain the insights of adopting such
business exercise from the perspective of emerging nations such as
Malaysia. In this paper, we looked at the growing interests in managing CSR
in the context of food retailing sector by investigating how CSR is
embedded in the retailers’ operations. Semi structured interviews to investigate how CSR is being implemented and exercised at the retail store was conducted with four hypermarkets in Malaysia. The findings suggest that the understanding and practice of CSR in the hypermarkets within the Malaysian setting are grounded in the context of environment, food safety,labour and human rights, community and sourcing.
