Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility Sustainable Business written by Rae Lindsay and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a dramatic departure from its voluntary origins, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is rapidly shifting to hold multinational companies accountable for more than traditional shareholder performance. This CSR movement is embracing new environmental, social and governance (ESG) frameworks that both promote global sustainability goals and enhance accountability for negative impacts businesses can have on ‘planet and people’. This collection of essays by leading businesspeople, international civil servants, legal practitioners, academics, and other experts offers a forward-looking and pragmatic perspective that illuminates the major themes in this movement towards increasingly sustainable, transparent and accountable business practices. The collection shows how CSR has evolved to account for societal pressures, environmental, climate change and human rights impacts, international policy imperatives and the practical challenges of regulating commercial activity that transcends borders. The chapters offer an in-depth examination of current issues including: international frameworks and multistakeholder initiatives catalysing foundational change; the shifting emphasis on corporate imperatives to avoid harm to third parties; trends in CSR, focused on assuring the planet's future sustainability and social stability; regulatory initiatives around the globe, including Europe, North America, Asia and Africa; and extended accountability for activities of corporate group members and supply chains. The pressure and business case for companies to incorporate CSR into corporate governance is intensifying with each quarter, shareholder meeting, and regulatory agenda. The integration of CSR and new ESG frameworks into multinational corporate strategy and operations is key to sustainable business models that can generate long-term value for the organization and all stakeholders. Their acceptance as cornerstones of 21st century business practice appears inevitable. Taking full account of the imperative for companies and their lawyers to grapple with the practical and legal challenges in this area, this volume is an invaluable and pragmatic addition to the practitioners’ toolbox at this important juncture in an ever-more dynamic field.

Download or read book The Sustainable Enterprise written by Chris Brown and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perceptions of a business's sustainability can have a real impact on the bottom-line. The benefits accrued will far outweigh any costs. Drawing on the experience and expertise of leading professionals and practitioners, it reviews the specific challenges that sustainability can involve from energy use to employment rights, from emissions trading to corporate governance, and from environmental technology to stakeholder relationships. Depending on the nature of the business, they might be critical or they might be routine. However, passively complying with rules and regulations is no longer sufficient. Sustainability is starting to permeate every business decision and needs to be managed in an active, integrated way.The rewards for responsibility, accountability and transparency can be high: brand loyalty, high-calibre recruits, strengthened partnerships, easier entry to new markets and better access to capital. Any failure to live up to a commitment to sustainability, however, can fundamentally undermine prospects for future growth. In securing these rewards and minimising the risks, this book is designed as a practical guide to the strategic and operating challenges in becoming a sustainable enterprise.
