Abstract
Conflicts are usual occurrences in the corporate world, particularly between business/ corporate organisations and the stakeholders. Divergent interests, goals, and aspirations are mostly the cause of these disagreements. The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) concept, therefore, encourages corporate and business organisations to be socially, economically, and environmentally conscious of their business activities' impacts to minimise conflicts. Thus, conflicts are bound to occur where stakeholders' interests overlap. This makes it imperative for any corporate/ business organisation to include effective conflict resolution management in their business agenda. This paper aimed to establish the importance of CSR projects as a tool to attain a peaceful society and to explore the potential of the use of ADR in resolving CSR disputes in Nigeria. The paper employed a doctrinal methodology of legal research. It therefore adopts descriptive and analytical methods. The paper suggests a model company-based mechanism that aspires to solve disputes via ADR and in a CSR-conscious way. It argues that due to its features, the ADR mechanism would respond effectively to CSR disputes
