The current theory of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is
developing along three interwoven lines - oral, social, and
environmental. Although everybody recognizes that although CSR is
of growing concern in a globalized economy, it being at the top of
the board of director's agenda and also good for business, there is
no sign of consensus on its rules, structures, or procedures. Now,
this collection of essays by leading jurists, businesspeople, and
academics takes a giant step toward a more cohesive and durable set
of principles that can contribute to a cleaner environment and a
better society while respecting and protecting the interests of all
stakeholders. The authors approach this complex but critical
subject from a variety of perspectives, including the following: *
the role of CSR in corporate governance; * the legal enforceability
of CSR rules; * the impact of international human rights standards;
* CSR as part of 'corporate DNA'; * choice of CSR strategy -
defensive or offensive; * the need for fair competition between
developing country exporters; * the prospects for international
social protection for workers; * enforcement of minimal standards
in remote locations; * the active search for eco-efficient
solutions; * corporate assumption of human rights responsibilities;
* the legal weight of codes of conduct; and * the role of the
lawyer in CSR. In a world where the annual income of the five
largest business corporations is more than double the combined GNPs
of the fifty poorest countries, the need for meaningful standards
of corporate social responsibility should be obvious. The
well-informed and considered analyses in this remarkable volume
provide an excellent starting point for those anxious to move the
agenda forward in this area that, despite the efforts of many
companies, often seems so intractable. The book will be of
immeasurable value to all professionals and academics in relevant
fields of law, policy, and business.
