Abstract: ?This article examines the role of corporate social and environmental responsibility in the energy transition, as a complement of or substitute for public decisions. Three main motives explain the economic incentives of firms implementing such voluntary practices: to respond to public and private pressures, to attract consumers, to differentiate one own?s products from those of its competitors and create new markets; or to respond to the demands of shareholders, in particular socially responsible investors, or employees. The real effects of corporate social and environmental responsibility on financial and nonfinancial performance are also discussed.?
