Although every country is distinguished by its history, culture
and language as well as its unique economic, environmental and
social conditions, it can be expected that international operating
companies will exhibit common patterns since sustainability
challenges do not stop at national borders.
Building on original data based on results of the International
Corporate Sustainability Barometer survey, this book depicts and
analyzes the current state of corporate sustainability management
and corporate social responsibility.
Part I describe the approach and summarizes the broad results,
outlining the methodology and offering an overview of results of
the ICSB survey. Part II presents specific findings for each of
eleven countries surveyed: Australia, Belgium, France, Germany,
Hungary, Japan, Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and
the USA. Part III provides a comparative analysis and highlights
broad patterns in the international results. Most strikingly, the
book reveals surprisingly widespread similarities among the
sustainability management practices of large companies in
economically developed countries all over the world.
All the survey results are analyzed according to the same
Triple-I approach: Intention - Why do companies manage
sustainability?;Integration - To what extent do companies embed
sustainability in their core business and in their organization?
And Implementation - How is corporate sustainability
operationalized? Based on this structure the analysis serves not
only to make comparisons and to investigate national
characteristics; it also builds a foundation for examining whether
there truly is a world-spanning common state of the art of
corporate sustainability. Distinguished authors who were involved
in the International Corporate Sustainability Barometer project
offer their insights, identifying and discussing national and
international patterns that can provide the basis for further ideas
and inspiration to practitioners and researchers worldwide who are
engaged in corporate sustainability."
