The paper discusses the effectiveness of corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies in improving working standards within multinational corporations (MNCs). It argues that for CSR to be impactful, firms must demonstrate a serious commitment to enforcing these policies, influenced largely by economic imperatives. Additionally, the paper emphasizes that CSR initiatives should be integrated into supportive political and institutional contexts to address challenges such as monitoring and governance, allowing labor to prioritize social over financial interests.
