Title:   Interpretation and Corporate Representation in Environmental Corporate Social Responsibility (eCSR) in an Emerging Economy
 

Emerging economies are caught between different needs of international investors and local economic, social, and political environments that shape their corporate social responsibility (CSR) leading them to be more, or less, environmentally conscious. Furthermore, when these economies are heavily invested in extractive industries, where there are greater environmental impacts, the local companies receive pressure to both meet market demands and implement policies and practices that are environmentally beneficial to local constituents. This research provides a better understanding of the motivating environmental corporate social responsibility (eCSR) logics that are operating in Kazakhstan and provides methodological recommendations to help stakeholders evaluate not only corporate reporting, but also corporate environmental performance and the impetus for eCSR management in different companies.
