Have you been wondering what the ever-confusing concept Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) means? Or maybe you’re interested in the ‘macro’ business case and the examples of Coca-cola and ExxonMobil? Corporate social responsibility: a legal analysis by Michael Kerr, Richard Janda, & Chip Pitts is an essential primer for you! With few other substantial legal texts in the field to build upon, the authors do not just explain CSR, they define it for the legal practitioner.
The title:
- Discusses the drivers of CSR such as: community and NGO pressure, the corporate moral imperative, governments and regulations, and more.
- Describes the conceptual foundations of corporate social responsibility such as: concession, contractual and constitutionalist theories, the separation of ownership and control, ethics, and more.
- Introduces readers to seven CSR legal principles, e.g., accountability, community investment, transparency, etc.
- Explains CSR’s status and future evolution.
