The Library of Corporate Responsibilities - 5 Volume Set
Ashgate Publishing, Dec 2009, Pages: 2,900
It is now generally recognised that corporations have ethical obligations that go beyond their legal responsibilities and affect how they ought to approach their legal responsibilities. It is further recognized that these are owed to a range of 'stakeholders' other than their own shareholders, such as employees, suppliers, customers, local communities and disadvantaged groups. However, there is considerable disagreement as to how far these obligations go, while the nature and grounding of responsibilities vary enormously with the type of stakeholder in question and the kind of corporations and industries involved. The issues raised in these debates include ethical, legal and political disagreements of a normative kind and social scientific questions about how ethical outcomes are best achieved, measured and monitored in a global market system characterized by enormous inequalities of wealth and power.
This series brings together essays that constitute key theoretical standpoints in these areas and major contributions to empirical work as to the existence, reality and effects of schemes to develop corporate ethical and legal responsibilites in different areas. The individual volumes include:
Corporate Business Responsibility: concerned with norms of correct corporate behaviour with respect to market norms and economic and financial responsibilities and accountability
Corporate Social Responsibility: going beyond shareholder responsibility to other stakeholders, especially where this is not required on profitability grounds
Corporate Environmental Resposibility: especially in the case of multinational corporations
Corporate Governance: especially as this bears on issues dealt with in the first three volumes.
Sustainability: The advantages of the discourse of Sustainability are that it brings together contemporary economic and moral imperatives in the context of scientific knowledge.
