We examine a duopoly with polluting production where …rms adopt a form of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to de…ne their objective functions. Our analysis focusses on the bearings of CSR on collusion over an in…nite horizon, sustained by either grim trigger strategies or optimal punishments. Our results suggest that assigning a weight to consumer surplus has a pro-competitive e¤ect under both full and par-tial collusion. Conversely, a higher impact of productivity on pollution has an anti-competitive e¤ect under partial collusion, while exerting no e¤ect under full collusion. Under partial collusion, the analysis of the isoquant map of the cartel reveals that complementarity arises between the two weights.
