However, not much has been systematically written on one of the key players – human resources (HR). This paper will address the gap by looking at HR contributions to CSR and providing a framework on the HR role in planning, implementing, monitoring and institutionalizing CSR. HR challenges involved in undertaking this crucial role are also discussed.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderCSRCSR auditCSR frameworkHR planningStrategic human resrouse managementEconomic ethicsBusiness ethicsLabour/professional ethicsArticle
