'Ruhmkorf's thought-provoking book has a powerful message: that we
cannot rely on the discretion of business to promote CSR
voluntarily. Through the devastating example of the Rana Plaza
disaster, Ruhmkorf shows that we must get beyond business rhetoric
and develop a multidimensional approach to the regulation of global
supply chains. Whilst recognising the existing limitations of
private law, his book highlights the potential contribution of
private law to the development and promotion of CSR. The task is
not an easy one, but by adopting a pluralistic approach to
corporate law and by employing contract law, consumer law and tort
law more dynamically, English private law could fill many of the
regulatory gaps. The message is urgent and strong. This is a must
read book for anyone concerned with CSR, supply chains and the
law.' - Charlotte Villiers, University of Bristol, UK 'This book
fills an important gap in discussions of international CSR
standards. It is all very well to say that states must protect and
companies should respect human rights, but when breaches of human
rights do occur, it is remedies that matter. Ruhmkorf explores the
limits of private law avenues for seeking such remedies. In so
doing, he provides a valuable understanding of obstacles to fuller
realization of the three-pillared ''Protect, Respect and Remed''
Framework of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights. - Alice de Jonge, Monash University, Australia Current
debate surrounding social responsibility has neglected to fully
comprehend the important role of national private law in achieving
socially responsible conduct in business. This insightful book
demonstrates how private law makes a significant contribution to
the promotion of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and how it
could be improved. Based on the analysis of four substantive areas
(company law/corporate governance, contract law, consumer law and
tort law), this inclusive book covers a full range of issues that
are important for CSR. These include directors duties, corporate
reporting, the incorporation of CSR policies into the supply chain,
consumer rights and the tortious liabilities of companies. The book
discerns how national private law in the home state of
multinational enterprises can legally affect their socially
responsible conduct worldwide. Andreas Ruhmkorf demonstrates that
private law already promotes and, with certain amendments, could
better promote CSR in the regulation of global supply chains. The
book's findings are applied to the collapse of the Rana Plaza
Building in Bangladesh, which offers a supportive empirical
insight. As an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of CSR and
global supply chains, this work will benefit researchers and
practitioners interested in the fields of CSR, private law,
international law, political economy, international labor standards
and sustainable supply chains.
