There have been increasing demands for CSR from both of governments and corporations. Firstly, as social changes in postindustrial society created new social risks, the government faced to reform the governing system due to the financial difficulties. Under this situation, collaborative governance has been developed as a new strategy of governing that allocates resources and encourages participation of corporations as a major actor for social services. While governments discuss about new governing system that encourages social responsibility of businesses, corporations also faced to change their roles. As social, political and economic challenges affect corporations more than ever before, many companies recognize the need to collaborate and partner with governments, civil society, and labor. The corporations are expected to do not only making profits but also social responsibility for society. CSR has been promoted and implemented by both of governments and corporations. CSR is expected to reduce financial difficulties of governments and solve social problems at the same time. The appearance of mutual cooperation indicates that various social agents need to cooperate with governments in order to solve the social problem. CSR seems to be inevitable for sustainability of society. International standards such as UN Global Compact and GRI Sustainability Reporting Guidelines have emerged to support CSR. Although both of standards have been successful amazingly, there are some criticisms about them, particularly about their effectiveness as they have no legal binding force. However, it is important to recognize their contributions to the ongoing discourse on accountability, corporate social responsibility and the appropriate roles of the business, government, civil society and professional sectors.
