Corporate Social Responsibility in Outer Space

Description

New forms of access to remote areas of the Earth and outer space are increasingly facilitated by technological and scientific advances now combined with growing privatisation.  With the growing buzz of new outer space activities and the excitement of ‘new frontiers’, there is also a need for sustainable corporate governance in outer space. Outer space activities do not ‘lift-off’ from Earthy regulatory systems into lawless anarchy of the extra-terrestrial domain.  Importantly, this includes regulatory principles emerging from the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
