Reasons for and against the willingness to pay the CSR bonus to a CSR business

Encouragement (Reasons for the bonus)Discouragement (Reasons against the bonus)
1.Sustainability is needed and I want to help to make a change.Information Asymmetry – I do not easily obtain (electronically) reliable information about the CSR of the particular business.
2.COVID-19 and other crises call for action and I respond.I do not have resources for that.
3.Competition can go overboard and I want to influence it and make it fairer.CSR is a duty set by the state and the state should enforce it.
4.Personal integrity and Brand loyalty are important for me.CSR is a concern of businesses, not my concern.
5.Personal experience – eye-witness pro/against CSR behavior and its consequences.Sectorial differences – I am open to think about it only with respect to a few products.
