Corporate Social Responsibility and the GRI Framework.

This thesis investigates the alignment between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) theories and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, with particular attention to how these alignments are reflected in the CSR reporting practices of Intel Corporation. The research draws upon core CSR theories, including Stakeholder Theory, Legitimacy Theory, Institutional Theory, Gendered Organization Theory, and the Triple Bottom Line, to evaluate the extent to which GRI’s disclosure structure embodies the normative and strategic assumptions of these frameworks.
