This unique title draws together in one volume some of the best
thinking to date on the pressing social and environmental
challenges we face as a society. These are the Top 50
Sustainability Books as voted for by the University of Cambridge
Programme for Sustainability Leadership's alumni network of over
3,000 senior leaders from around the world. In addition to profiles
of all 50 titles, many of the authors share their most recent
reflections on the state of the world and the ongoing attempts by
business, government and civil society to create a more sustainable
future. Many of these authors have become household names in the
environmental, social and economic justice movements - from Rachel
Carson, Ralph Nader and E.F. Schumacher to Vandana Shiva, Muhammad
Yunus and Al Gore. Others, such as Aldo Leopold, Thomas Berry and
Manfred Max-Neef, are relatively undiscovered gems, whose work
should be much more widely known. By featuring these and other
seminal thinkers, The Top 50 Sustainability Books distils a
remarkable collective intelligence - one that provides devastating
evidence of the problems we face as a global society, yet also
inspiring examples of innovative solutions; it explores our deepest
fears and our highest hopes for the future. It is a must-read for
anyone who wants to tap into the wisdom of our age.

The World Guide to CSR is the first book to provide comparable
national profiles that describe the evolution and practice of
Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility (CSR) for 58 countries
and 5 global regions. Each regional and national profile includes
key information about the relevant CSR history, country-specific
issues, trends, research and leading organizations. The purpose of
the book is to give CSR professionals (including managers,
consultants, academics and NGOs focusing on the social,
environmental and ethical responsibilities of business) a quick
reference guide to CSR in different regional and national contexts.
The need for the book is premised on the fact that CSR
professionals and researchers more often than not have a
multinational remit and are required to benchmark performance
internationally, but find that country-specific CSR information is
ad hoc, limited or non-existent. Even where national CSR research
exists, it is often hidden in academic journals that practitioners
cannot access or do not have the time or inclination to read. The
book is an edited volume, with expert contributors from around the
world, all of whom have been screened and selected on the basis of
their qualifications and experience in CSR. Each regional/country
profile includes the following subsections:CSR in context Priority
issues Trends Legislation and codes Organizations Case studies
Educational institutions References This unique resource will be an
essential acquisition for all organisations who need to benchmark
their CSR strategies throughout different regions and cultures and
want the best possible intelligence on the key issues and concerns
relating to corporate social responsibility in all of the markets
in which they operate.

An arresting account of why and where sustainability has and hasn't
workedA collection of short compelling chapters that provide new
insights into long-standing questionsFrom one of the foremost
thinkers in corporate responsibility
In January 2010, author, academic and social entrepreneur Dr Wayne
Visser set off on a nine-month, 20-country "quest" to talk to
entrepreneurs, business leaders and innovators and learn about how
companies in all parts of the world can and are helping to tackle
the world's most pressing social and environmental problems. His
aim was to explore the many varieties of global approaches to
sustainable business practices first-hand and to share some of the
most innovative global examples.The result is this treasure trove
of a book, full of stories, ideas, links to more than 100 video
interviews, best practices and tools for making sustainable
business work in a myriad of different contexts, cultures and
settings. Besides sharing insights from his 2010 "CSR Quest World
Tour", the author captures his professional experiences and the
evolution of sustainable business over the past 20 years.The path
begins in Africa and winds its way through Asia, North America,
Europe, Australasia and Latin America. The author shares what he
has learned in encounters with mega-corporations and small farmers,
and conversations with CEOs and social entrepreneurs. There are
facts and figures about world trends, and interviews with thought
leaders and activists. This is a tale that consciously weaves the
personal and the professional, mixing anecdotes and case studies.
It looks outwards and reflects inwards, and is both autobiography
and the life story of a global movement.

thinkers in corporate responsibility
What makes corporate citizenship in Africa not only fascinating,
but also of critical importance, is that the continent embodies
many of the most vexing dilemmas that business faces in its attempt
to be responsible, ethical and sustainable .
Corporate citizenship is enmeshed in the debate about Africa's
future. Africa is the continent where the social needs are greatest
and where the benefits of globalization have been least felt. What
makes corporate citizenship in Africa not only fascinating, but
also of critical importance, is that the continent embodies many of
the most vexing dilemmas that business faces in attempts to be
responsible, ethical and sustainable.This unique collection for the
first time brings together in one publication the critical debates,
perspectives, experiences and success stories in the emerging field
of corporate citizenship in Africa.The book addresses a number of
key questions: What research has been conducted on corporate
citizenship in Africa over the past ten years? How are the concepts
and challenges of corporate citizenship in Africa different,
compared to other regions of the world? Which industry sectors are
leading in the implementation of corporate citizenship in Africa?
What are some of the dilemmas facing companies that are striving to
be good corporate citizens in Africa? What are some of the
best-practice case studies of companies' corporate citizenship
programs in Africa? What can Africa learn from the rest of the
world about corporate citizenship, and what can it teach others?The
book acts as a bridge in many ways: between academic theory and
business practice; between notions of corporate citizenship
originating in developed countries and emerging concepts incubated
in a developing-country context; between the experiences of
multinationals and the perspectives of small and medium-sized
enterprises; between different countries and regions within Africa
and around the globe. This publication marks a change in the tide a
groundswell towards a more vigorous debate and robust research
agenda on corporate citizenship in Africa. It will be essential
reading for all those involved in the rapidly growing corporate
responsibility movement."
