CSR has now moved beyond the stage of specialist or niche subject
to become an integral part of global business and society. This
timely edition is destined to become the definitive guide to CSR,
Sustainability, Business Ethics and the organizations and standards
in the field.
The A to Z of Corporate Social Responsibility is a unique
publication and is the culmination of over a hundred of the
world’s leading thinkers, opinion formers, academic and
business people providing an easy-to-use guide to CSR: from general
concepts such as sustainability, stakeholder management, business
ethics and human rights to more specific topics such as carbon
trading, microfinance, biodiversity, the Base of the Pyramid model
and globalisation. In addition to definitions of the most important
terms across the wide range of CSR associated topics, this book
also covers all the most important codes and guidelines, such as
the Equator Principles, the UN Global Compact and ISO standards, as
well as providing background on organizations such as the World
Business Council for Sustainable Development and Transparency
International and profiles of CSR in particular industries and
regions.
This paperback edition includes all the latest developments in
CSR as well as incorporating new sections on boardroom pay, the
sub-prime market and the financial crisis.
