NGOs as Stakeholders in CSR

Public-private partnerships have increased as a way for corporations and non-government organizations (NGOs) to fulfill their respective commitments for social responsibility. In the past, the relationship between corporations and NGOs has been contentious, with competing profit vs. non-profit motives and objectives. “Recently, however, more and more scholars and practitioners have argued that business-NGO partnerships can generate positive impacts for both business and society.” (Gjerdrum & Pedersen, 2013). While there may be mutual benefits, there are also many challenges to the success of these associations.
