Governance of Sustainability
How to embed the concept of sustainability is one of the key questions boards of directors and top management teams discuss in times of societal change and environmental challenges. These reflections are driven not only by self-reflection but also by capital market pressures and the consensus of public opinion. Unlike other issues on the corporate agenda, sustainability calls for a distinct approach to governance and raises questions about the foundation of corporate governance: the corporate purpose. This book presents various perspectives on corporate governance of sustainability and sustainable corporate governance, bringing together viewpoints from 16 practitioners and academics.

Leading with Integrity
Thanks to global news and social media, we are the most informed and socially conscious generation in history. But what are the sources of inner inspiration that guide our daily conduct and motivations in the workplace? Far from the old Machiavellian dictum that "the ends justify the means", the reverse is often the case: the means determine the ends. This book presents the stories of business leaders who have aimed to build trust in the economy, and have delivered value through integrity, cooperation, stewardship, purpose and sustainability. It proposes the eight Cs of trust which can define the culture of organizations: contracts, covenants, competences, character, conscience, conviction, courage and change. The book makes the clear link between personal decision-making and global outcomes and demonstrates how positive decision-making can lead to change inside organizations and beyond.

Konzerne unter Beobachtung
Die Macht der Konzerne wächst – in der Schweiz und weltweit. Der Einfluss der Schweizer Multis wie Nestlé, Novartis, UBS, CS, Glencore und anderer kennt keine Grenzen. Ihr Tun entscheidet über das Schicksal von Millionen, über die Ausbeutung von natürlichen Ressourcen aller Art, darüber, wer profitiert und wer nicht. Doch mit der Macht der global tätigen Konzerne ist auch die Kritik an ihnen gewachsen. Nichtregierungsorganisationen decken auf, wie Multis Menschenrechte missachten, die Umwelt schädigen, Arbeitskräfte ausbeuten, Profite in Steueroasen verstecken. Die Konzerne reagieren mit neuen Strategien. Was ändert sich wirklich? Ist »soziale Unternehmensverantwortung« mehr als nur Imagepflege? Das Buch analysiert, wie Konzerne unterschiedlich auf den Druck der Zivilgesellschaft reagieren, was sich in der Schweiz verändert hat und welche Rolle die Politik spielt. Es zieht eine Zwischenbilanz nach mehr als vierzig Jahren Auseinandersetzungen zwischen NGOs und Schweizer Konzernen. Und das Buch zeigt, dass die NGOs mit ihren Kampagnen einiges in Sachen Arbeitsbedingungen und Umweltschutz erreicht haben. Eine Erfolgsgeschichte.
