The rapidly increasing attention devoted to Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) has resulted in the term 'CSR' being applied
to myriad dissimilar phenomena. The authors therefore aim to dispel
this confusion by presenting a multi-faceted view of socially
responsible corporate behavior and related themes. They provide a
conceptualization of CSR that emphasizes the role of the adoption
and implementation of specific CSR strategies and their impact on
corporate social and economic performance. An overview of the CSR
literature is presented, and the managerial tools required for
creating and sustaining social, economic and competitive value are
explored. Case studies and extensive empirical evidence are used as
a basis for the analyses of the benchmarking of European and
international standards and initiatives, and a new CSR performance
evaluation and reporting framework is proposed. Driven by the
strong belief that CSR is at the forefront in the competitive
strengthening of the entire EU system, this book represents an
attempt to guide readers through the CSR principles currently in
progress at the European level. It will therefore be invaluable to
both academics and practitioners wishing to deepen their knowledge
in the field of CSR, and to those interested in the practical
application of strategic approaches to CSR.
Corporate sustainability needs a rethink. We have entered the
human-influenced Anthropocene age, and we are witnessing
accelerating changes in earth system processes. Businesses' current
initiatives, such as product innovation and pollution reduction,
are not enough to combat the intensifying social-ecological
challenges that face us. Corporate Sustainability in the 21st
Century is an innovative new textbook which provides a fresh
conceptual framework for understanding and engaging with
sustainability, now and in the future - "Business In Nature." This
book critically discusses key concepts and topics related to
corporate sustainability, with a focus on corporate sustainability
strategies and corporate value chains. Setting itself apart from
existing books, it introduces ideas from global ecology and the
natural sciences to provide readers with a new language for
discussing business and sustainability. This book maintains an
international perspective throughout, with a wealth of examples,
case studies and discussion questions. It will be a valuable text
for students of corporate sustainability; business, nature and
society; and environmental studies, and will also be useful for
managers seeking a new perspective on how being "green" can fit
with business goals.
Technology breakthroughs in sustainable renewable energy and energy
conservation technologies require that there be a strong
institutional ecosystem in place which supports innovation, but the
nature of this foundation and how it works is not well-known.
Becoming a leader necessitates new forms of cross-sector
cooperation.
