The Impact of the EC Procurement Rules on Corporate Responsibility in the Supply Chain: a Study of Utilities
My research project will examine the effect of the EC procurement legislation on the implementation of corporate social responsibility policies by the UK utilities. The project aims to discover any problems and uncertainties in this area caused by the EC rules, any positive benefits of the rules on designing corporate social responsibility policies and the response of the utility sector in practice. The main objectives are to provide information on stakeholder experiences to assist in policy-making in the area and to enhance understanding of the way parties react to legal rules which conflict with legitimate needs. The project will involve legal analysis of the relevant EC rules and empirical research in the form of semi-structured interviews with those responsible for implementing CSR policies in a sample of UK utilities.
