The term corporate social responsibility first raised by the British scholar Oliver Shelton inspection companies in the United States in 1923. Countries and organizations for the definition of corporate social responsibility are different, and corporate social responsibility in the growth and development has gradually formed in the different types of corporate social responsibility model. This paper from the driving force of corporate social responsibility is different from corporate social responsibility into the public represented by the United States to promote the type and represented the British government-driven. Public-push model of corporate social responsibility, corporate social responsibility is mainly depend on the performance of the public (such as business, public and non-governmental organizations, etc.) to promote and ease the government only plays the role to ensure the smooth implementation of corporate social responsibility model. Government-driven corporate social responsibility model, is the fulfillment of corporate social responsibility mainly rely on the Government to promote the community is mainly active cooperation and the implementation of the model.American public to promote corporate social responsibility model type resulting from the rapid development of industry, the rapid deterioration of ecological environment in the mid 20th century, the people regardless of social responsibility of enterprises, the simple act of profit-driven opposition launched a massive campaign to force corporate social responsibility. That is in the public conscious of corporate social responsibility and intellectual development of government social standard of the United States under the background model of corporate social responsibility; in the United States Government in the Development of corporate social responsibility is the side of the guide, non-interference in their own direction for social responsibility content, but by practicing corporate social responsibility for the legal protection provided to promote corporate social responsibility means smooth development in the U.S.; corporate social responsibility focus on the development of legal supervision, have a very sound system of corporate law; people power is the social responsibility of business prime mover.UK Government to promote corporate social responsibility model type produced in the European integration process, because trade barriers were broken, so many countries in the economy exposed imperfections. In the economic and social context of security issues highlighted by the government to turn the tide; in the United Kingdom Government in the Development of corporate social responsibility is a positive promoter set up specifically to deal with government departments, fully inspired, wide range of publicity to promote the full range of UK corporate social responsibility development process; in the UK model of corporate social responsibility policy-oriented regulation, the corporate social responsibility to provide a more flexible overall framework; model of corporate social responsibility in the UK non-governmental forces in the main enforcer of government policy or participants, and actively with the Government's various initiatives.American model of corporate social responsibility corporate social responsibility model and the UK are in a particular historical background, and have their own advantages, there are also some gaps. The United States to non-governmental forces such as the main driving force, government assistance to fulfill their social responsibility to guide the model, the main advantage is that corporate social responsibility to the enthusiasm high, the practice of corporate social responsibility more flexibility; the defect is the lack of uniform leadership, power is more dispersed. The British government as the main driver of this, active support of civil power to carry out corporate social responsibility model, the main advantage is that the Government set up specialized agencies to implement a unified leadership, government can be effective guidance and supervision; but there are some problems, for example, how further processing of the development of corporate social responsibility Fortunately, the government and corporate relations, corporate social responsibility to further expand the scope and enrich the contents of corporate social responsibility.Whether the United States or the United Kingdom has the advantages of corporate social responsibility model there are also some weak points. Corporate social responsibility in our own country, can not blindly copy a pattern. Our concern for corporate social responsibility started late, in the global concern in the context of corporate social responsibility, development of corporate social responsibility is imminent. The development of corporate social responsibility on the basis of the existing situation should be based on the present stage, study of other countries in corporate social responsibility in the advanced experience of the place really is worth learning for our own use, in the constant search for thinking and practice out a line with national conditions with Chinese characteristics of corporate social responsibility path.
