Practice of CSR in Canada’s extractive industry: Identifying the intersection between social responsibility and business profitability
Authors

Abstract
The operations and activities of companies in
Canadia’s extractive industry have negative externalities on local people such
as indigenous communities in Alberta, Northern British Columbia, and the North
Western territories where different mineral resources are found and extracted.
These extractive companies voluntarily undertake corporate social
responsibility (CSR) practices with the objective of assisting and giving back
to affected communities. However, there is the argument that while CSR is
voluntary with laudable objective, companies derive increased business
profitability from the practice of CSR. From analytical review of extant and
relevant literature, this paper identifies how extractive companies in Canada
derive business profitability as an underlying motivation for the practice of
CSR.
