Responsibility and Governance: The Twin Pillars of Sustainability (Approaches to Global Sustainability, Markets, and Governance)

Responsibility and Governance: The Twin Pillars of Sustainability (Approaches to Global Sustainability, Markets, and Governance)

by David Crowther (Editor), David Crowther (Editor), Shahla Seifi (Editor), Tracey Wond (Editor)

Synopsis

This book examines various aspects of changes to business behavior through the lenses of the twin pillars of sustainability - responsibility and governance. It discusses whether the focus of corporate social responsibility has changed so much that we need to think about redefinitions of key concepts in the field, and analyses both the theory and practice in a variety of ways to enable conclusions to be drawn about the changes needed to any definitions.

This approach is based on the tradition of the Social Responsibility Research Network, which in its 15-year history has sought to broaden the discourse and to treat all research as inter-related and relevant to business. This book consists of the best contributions from the 16th International Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility and 7th Organisational Governance Conference held in Derby, United Kingdom in August/September 2017.
