Corporate Integrity [EPUB ebook] 
A Toolkit for Managing Beyond Compliance

How good companies build a culture of integrity
In the present environment of corporate governance brought on by
high-profile executive scandals, this book makes a strong case for
encouraging business leaders to manage beyond compliance. Achieving
the bare minimum of compliance isn’t enough. By making corporate
responsibility and integrity a strategic priority-rather than
something companies are forced to comply with-companies can realize
tangible financial returns and benefits. This book provides
practical advice, effective tools, and time-tested best practices
for approaching corporate integrity strategically and managing an
integrity program on a day-to-day basis.
There is a growing realization that compliance with the rules is
only a minimum standard of performance, and an increasing demand
from stakeholders at every level — shareholders, employees,
customers along the entire supply chain, consumers, advocacy
groups, and the local community at large — for more
transparency and accountability from corporations.
But most businesses have little experience and few tools to deal
with the urgent demand to increase corporate responsibility.
Corporate Integrity provides practical tools and proven
processes to manage complex integrity dilemmas and support
implementation:
* Explains how to create a culture of integrity in your
organization and how to motivate the appropriate corporate
behaviors.
* Coverage includes: How to assess and measure integrity; how to
align corporate integrity commitments and actions; how to design
and implement dependable and strategic corporate accountability
systems and processes; how to develop corporate integrity standards
and report on them, and much more.
* Includes a wealth of practical business tools and best
practices that readers can apply to improve the level of corporate
integrity in their own company.
* Features three detailed case studies and numerous other
examples that illustrate corporate integrity dilemmas and solutions
in action.
* Shows how managing corporate responsibility strategically and
proactively can go beyond a mere public relations exercise to
foster a corporate ‘win’ in the court of popular opinion and in the
marketplace.
* Bridges the gaps between corporations, governments, employees,
interest groups, and consumers.
* Offers tools and solutions that apply to both for-profit
corporations and non-profit organizations.
