Book excerpt: In the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability, a profound challenge emerges — the intersection of traditional practices with the relentless march of technology. Companies face a pressing dilemma as they navigate mandatory and voluntary CSR requirements, grapple with stakeholder demands, and strive for transparency in a digitally-driven era. The relationship between technology and CSR has become a pivotal concern, affecting compliance, monitoring, reporting, and ultimately, the very fabric of corporate reputation. This challenge calls for a nuanced understanding, and it is precisely this void that the book, Technology-Driven Evolution of the Corporate Social Responsibility Ecosystem, aims to fill. The central predicament lies in the dynamic evolution of CSR practices against the backdrop of technological advancements. As companies seek to balance mandatory and voluntary CSR initiatives, the landscape is fraught with complexities. Stakeholders, armed with technology, demand accountability, and transparency, pressuring companies to adapt swiftly. The challenge extends to the need for effective reporting, maintaining social legitimacy, and navigating the intricacies of CSR governance in a rapidly digitizing world.

Download or read book Greening the Car Industry written by John Mikler and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . . . fascinating and stimulating book, which is both comprehensive and partial in equal degree. Peter Wells, Journal of Environmental Policy and Planning Greening the Car Industry is an innovative book in the Varieties of Capitalism tradition. Its interviews and analysis offer rich insights into why the US car industry struggles, particularly on environmental impact, compared to Japanese and German firms. John Mikler shows that regulatory institutions matter, and how they matter. For the car industry at least, more collaborative forms of capitalism show more promise. Mikler gives us a masterpiece of regulatory scholarship. John Braithwaite, The Australian National University Corporations, including those in the car industry, are increasingly keen to proclaim their green credentials. But what motivates firms to reduce the environmental impact of their products? Rather than accepting the conventional wisdom, John Mikler addresses this question in a novel way by taking a comparative institutionalist approach informed by the Varieties of Capitalism literature. Focusing on Germany, the US and Japan, the author shows that national variations in capitalist relations of production are central to explaining how the car industry tackles the issue of climate change, such variations are crucial for understanding the normative as well as material basis for firms motivations. This ground-breaking book will be of great benefit to students and academics, particularly those with an interest in comparative politics, public policy and international political economy. It may also serve as a resource for courses on environmental politics and environmental management as well as aspects of international relations and business/management. Given the book s contemporary policy relevance, it will be a valuable reference for policy practitioners with an interest in industry policy, multinational corporations, the environment, and institutional approaches to comparative politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, industry has been accused of sacrificing sustainable development in the pursuit of short-term profit. Yet today, under the banner of Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER), a growing number of business organizations are claiming to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. So, what is this emerging phenomenon of CER and what does it aspire to achieve? How pervasive is it and what are its implications for both business and the environment? This collection of essential articles and papers maps the development of the CER concept, traces the principal debates concerning its contribution to environmental protection, assesses the evidence as to what extent corporations are seeking to "do well be doing good" and explains why some companies have gone down this path when others, similarly situated, have been unwilling to do so. In essence, it asks: what has CER accomplished, what can it accomplish, and what is beyond its reach?

Book excerpt: Akademische Arbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich BWL - Controlling, Note: 2,3, Fachhochschule Brandenburg, Veranstaltung: Finance Controlling & Accounting, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The following questions are discussed in the paper: Why is it so necessary applied for sustainability of the business nowadays? How can the implementation of SBSC help the company’s financial performance? What are the benefits of implementing SBSC? This work might be helpful to assist especially managers to implement the concept of Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) as strategic controlling for their long-term success in their sustainability strategy. During the last decade, environmental and social issues, are reflected in market transactions and have become an important issue so that many companies implemented specific environmental and social management systems. However, these systems have rarely been integrated with the general management system of a firm so that it is often not related to the economic success of the firm and the economic contribution of environmental and social management. The topic about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become familiar nowadays, where companies, especially listed companies, have disclosed their CSR-activities, which involve economic, environmental and social issue, in their annual report or in their sustainability reports to show to the public that they are also concerned about these issues. Furthermore, sustainability has increasingly become an important issue for wellbeing of human life and it is responsibility of many parties such as individuals, corporations, or governments. Nowadays, the term sustainability also has become popular among companies to implicate social, economic and environmental pillars to their strategy and management of the company. Today, companies should not only focus on their profits, but they are also forced to concern about other issues such as social, economic and environmental. Unfortunately, many companies still do not know how to implement or measure its outcomes.
