Efforts to advance corporate social responsibility are vital to the Leitner Center’s mission to promote social justice around the world.  Human rights, labor rights, the environment and anti-corruption efforts are impacted by almost every aspect of corporate activity from to the treatment of employees, to the impact of products and services on consumers and society, to the use of natural resources, to the disposal of waste products, to corporate relationships with communities, shareholders and government.

The CSR Program partners with businesses, NGOs, governments, and other groups to support efforts to harness the change-making possibility of working with businesses to work towards positive social change and ensure compliance with international human rights.

The CSR Program works via the CSR Clinic, as well as developing more in-depth CSR and brings speakers from businesses, law firms, NGOS, and other networks to Fordham to better inform this continually evolving field.
