The ICCA Handbook on Corporate Social Responsibility
The world's leading companies have realized that success in the long term requires them not only to make an economic profit, but also to contribute to the societies in which they operate. As a result Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has moved to the top of the business agenda. Yet questions remain. Sceptics ask whether, provided an organization's activities conform to legislation, there is a business case for going beyond this. This unique Handbook from the Institute for Corporate Culture Affairs (ICCA) offers an invaluable combination of lessons learned and best practice for the future. It explores the general concept of CSR, investigates approaches to implementation and provides first...
Responsible Entrepreneurship
Meeting the social effects of demographic change, globalization, digitization, and growing social inequality requires collective action on the part of government, civil society, and the private sector. But what do businesses offer in developing effective solutions to the challenges we face as a society? The Bertelsmann Stiftung conducted global research on this question. The findings presented here are accompanied by contributions from experts on the role of business and entrepreneurship in society. They examine how businesses are integrated into international networks and how they help advance society through social innovations. As a contribution to debates on these issues, this volume offers recommendations for a blueprint of responsible entrepreneurship and a policy framework designed to promote it.
Law, Society, and History
This book assembles essays on legal sociology and legal history by an international group of distinguished scholars. All of them have been influenced by the eminent and prolific legal historian, legal sociologist and scholar of comparative law, Lawrence M. Friedman. Not just a Festschrift of essays by colleagues and disciples, this volume presents a sustained examination and application of Friedman's ideas and methods. Together, the essays in this volume show the powerful ripple effects of Friedman's work on American and comparative legal sociology, American and comparative legal history and the general sociology of law and legal change.
Transparency
This book, winner of the 2002 Carl Bertelsmann Prize, shows how innovative cooperation among government, business, and civil society can generate reform processes that serve the public interest. However, these reform initiatives will not be deemed legitimate without transparency. Transparency in decision-making processes creates the trust needed for successful collaboration and opens the door for other groups to participate, strengthening the democratic roots of our society. Four case studies confirm that cross-sectoral alliances can help in solving a wide array of social problems. An overview of a survey of international networks rounds out the book.
Corporate Responsibility in Europe
The sector-specific approach to Corporate Responsibility (CR) has attracted little attention so far, although the industrial sector is a key variable in any company's economic environment. Therefore, this book introduces sector-specific CR as a way to increase the success and impact of business engagement. It focuses on sector-specific initiatives with government involvement as appropriate governance mechanisms to address sustainability challenges through public-private collaboration. What is the state of sector-specific CR across Europe? How do sector-specific initiatives work and what are criteria for their good performance? What roles do governments play in such initiatives? To answer these questions, the book draws on rich empirical evidence from five industries across eight European countries as well as on the expertise of numerous CR and industry experts. In doing so, its target audience is both researchers and practitioners. Academics will find a starting point for further research in this emerging field, whereas practitioners are offered empirical and effective models for promoting sector-specific CR.
Verantwortung für die Gesellschaft - verantwortlich für das Geschäft
Für viele deutsche Unternehmen ist es selbstverständlich, verantwortlich zu wirtschaften. Ihr gesellschaftliches, soziales und ökologisches Engagement muss sich jedoch nicht in Wohltätigkeit erschöpfen. Von strategisch verstandener "Corporate Social Responsibility" profitiert nicht nur die Gesellschaft: Investitionen in die Gesellschaft können sich als langfristige Wettbewerbsvorteile auch für das Unternehmen selbst auszahlen. Wie lässt sich das gesellschaftliche Engagement eines Unternehmens so an dessen Prozesse, Produkte und Beziehungen anbinden und innerbetrieblich verankern, dass es zu einem Werttreiber wird? Die Bertelsmann Stiftung sucht nach Antworten auf diese Frage und erar...
