Corporate Sustainability, Social Responsibility and Environmental Management ― An Introduction to Theory and Practice With Case Studies

This book provides a concise and authoritative guide to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and related paradigms, including environmental responsibility, corporate sustainability and responsibility, creating shared value, strategic CSR, stakeholder engagement, corporate citizenship, business ethics and corporate governance, among others.

This publication offers a useful guide for students, as it explains CSR theory and practice in a structured manner. It also features case studies on international policies and principles, exploring corporate businesses’ environmental, social and governance reporting. The book reveals how stakeholder engagement and sustainability strategies (including the circular economy approach) can unlock synergistic value for both business and societies in a global context, and suggests that business practitioners could employ social responsibility and environmental management to achieve long-term corporate sustainability.

The book includes a foreword by Professor Emeritus Archie B. Carroll, who is one of the pioneers of the CSR paradigm. It also features numerous endorsements from accomplished academic researchers, including: Prof. Charles J. Fombrun, Prof. Adam Lindgreen, Prof. Diane L. Swanson and Prof. Donald Siegel. It is primarily intended for advanced undergraduate and / or graduate students. Moreover, it is highly relevant for future entrepreneurs, small business owners, non-profit organisations and charitable foundations, as it addresses the core aspects of contemporary strategies, public policies and practices.
