A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is steadily moving from the margins to the mainstream across the spectrum of private companies, NGOs and the public sector. It has grown from being a concept embraced by a small number of companies such as The Body Shop in the early 1990s to a widespread global movement. At its weakest level, it is represented by a few philanthropic gestures by organizations but, when applied in its most complete form, it can steer the organization or sector to deliver a fully fledged, system-wide, multi-stakeholder operation, accompanied by multiple types of certification. For the first time, a book brings together key issues relating to CSR as they apply to different aspects of business; it is not another generalist title about CSR. Michael Hopkins, a leading expert in the field, is joined by a number of outstanding contributors to the book, to explain how CSR has evolved since the 1990s and to offer ground-breaking insights and practical and specific applications of the concept. For example, Mervyn King explains Integrating Reporting, Deborah Leipziger looks at the laws and standards for CSR, Branding and the Supply Chain, George Starcher provides a framework for Socially Responsible Restructuring, and Adrian Henriques explores Social Accounting and Stakeholder Dialogue.

Revue de presse :

"I am especially pleased to recommend to every decision-maker in private or public life this outstanding book as a holistic work that will enhance our understanding of the responsibility as well as the opportunities- that corporations have as part of our global society. I have admiration for Michael and the other authors for a unique achievement and our sincere appreciation for their contributions towards a better understanding of shared responsibilities towards the future. The maxim CSR is always good business for a corporation is certainly true and the UN encourages academia to plant that seed as early as possible in someones career. Michael will definitely galvanize many people in the classroom and in the boardrooms, as well as in the Cabinet rooms of many nations." --Alex Mejia, former Vice Minister of Economy for the Republic of Ecuador and Director, Manager
