Achieving sustainable development goals through corporate social responsibility and responsiveness in Zimbabwe: achievements, challenges, and future opportunities
Qualitative analysis reveals CSR's limited but evolving role in achieving sustainability goals in Zimbabwe, suggesting stronger partnerships among stakeholders.
Key Points
Progress on sustainable development goals is evident among large enterprises in Zimbabwe, but implementation remains limited.
CSR strategies are partly responsive to local socio-economic and environmental demands, yet lack comprehensive focus.
Qualitative research, including interviews and corporate report analysis, was conducted with Tongaat Hulett, Econet Wireless, and Delta Corporation.
The policy framework and absence of CSR benchmarks impede effective progress on SDGs, indicating a need for enhanced collaboration.
