Yes, i think that's probably right - it's a theme that's come up with my own research too - why have a separate department if CSR is so deeply engrained you expect everyone in the company to consider it? I also think there is a legitimate concern from companies about appearing to "greenwash" - if they publicise their CSR efforts then they might be taken to be adopting them simply for advertising purposes, or it might spark a debate about why they're not doing more if they're still working on improving it.
Karl, I'll reply to you in the feedback thread you started so as not to confuse this one
