Animal Rights in Corporate Social Responsibility : Going beyond Animal Welfare in Business Context

Tranova, Thanh Thanh, Matyášová, Máša January 2022 (has links)
This thesis explores the connection between animal rights (abolitionism) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in an animal-exploiting company. Looking at how companies should treat animals has long been neglected in academic research. For this reason, the thesis investigates how animal rights, in particular, relate to Carroll's pyramid of CSR. The research adopts qualitative research methods with semi-structured interviews. Carroll's pyramid of CSR and its four dimensions are used as the theoretical framework to both direct the data gathering and analyse the information that was acquired. The thesis concludes with several major findings. Firstly, it is found that animal-exploiting businesses do not address animal rights but animal welfare in their CSR strategy. Secondly, the findings identify relations between animal rights and the four levels of Carroll’s CSR framework, namely economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic levels. Finally, an adjusted version of the framework is developed correlating with abolitionism.
