Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a fundamentally normative construction. It speaks to what social responsibility should look like, who it should apply to, and how it should be demonstrated. By contrast, the analytic position of the corporate social irresponsibility (CSI) discourse is evidence-based, and objects to the notion that companies can claim to be responsible while at the same time act irresponsibly. This paper supports a clear separation between (i) the critique of company performance within the dominant discursive construct of CSR and (ii) CSI as an evidence-based approach to reading and documenting corporate performance. A conceptually distinct CSI discourse removes the need for researchers to disprove CSR rhetoric before engaging with responsibility problems. Rather than organising studies around CSR claims and commitments, we suggest that researchers of global resource extraction put their energies towards capturing the form and function of ‘organised irresponsibility’ in locations where mining takes place.

企业社会责任（CSR）是一种基本的规范性建设。它说明了社会责任应该是什么样子，应该适用于谁，以及应该如何展示。相比之下，企业社会不责任（CSI）话语的分析立场是基于证据的，并且反对企业可以声称有责任同时又不负责任地行事的观点。本文支持将 (i) 在 CSR 的主导话语结构中对公司绩效的批评与 (ii) CSI 作为阅读和记录公司绩效的基于证据的方法之间进行明确区分。概念上不同的 CSI 论述消除了研究人员在处理责任问题之前反驳 CSR 言论的需要。与其围绕 CSR 主张和承诺组织研究，
