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.
Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability and Corporate Citizenship are now essential elements of modern business. "Responsible Business" is a vital "how to" guide providing information on all aspects of the CSR process. This highly accessible book is full of insights from those responsible for implementing CSR strategy inside companies - whether as CSR managers or at top management level - with coverage of all the important aspects of CSR - from what a sustainability manager's job involves, how to handle stakeholder dialogue, supply chain management to auditing, CSR and the law, and communicating CSR. Divided into bite-size easy-to-read chapters complete with practical checklists or "dos and don'ts," "Responsible Business" provides perspectives "across" different industries and sectors from running micro-finance at an international banking group to CSR in small companies as well as personal insights into a CSR manager's role in the automotive sector, the IT sector, the hotel business and many more. "If CSR is ever to happen in real time, it will be in the
corporate trenches, honed by managers driving CSR beyond academic
ideal to practical workplace results. This new book from Europe's
ICCA has it all in one place. A brilliant display of actual
corporate accomplishments, workable tools, and organisational
work-around strategies. Real stuff by real professionals." "The work of Nick Tolhurst and the ICCA in this publication and
beyond is vital to the field of CSR, as well as to the
interdisciplinary fields and sectors that it affects in the private
sector, public sector and civil society. I suggest this book become
required reading for each sector."
