While the concept and domain of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are not new-its beginnings can be tracked back to the 1960s-its scope, urgency, and relevance have shifted dramatically in recent years. CEO responses show that the majority of business leaders understand that they operate in an environment of contested values and that stakeholders expect companies to do better and more. However, many corporate incentive systems are not in sync with societal norms and expectations. Moreover, "grand challenges" such as climate change and global pandemics and growing interconnectedness shed light on the fault lines of value creation through complex supply chain systems, exposing unacceptable working conditions, modern slavery, and the environmental consequences of highly distributed production at any cost.As a consequence, corporate social responsibility has become a widely accepted common denominator of the role and responsibilities of business in society, ranging from core functions such as health, safety, and environment standards, to governance and recognition of stakeholders, supply chain design, and corporations' stand on climate change and its responsibility to future generations. This volume assembles state-of-the-art scholarship from leading scholars in the field and enables a "full range view" of CSR, from its roots, normative foundations, and institutional perspectives to matters of stakeholding, the global value chain, social innovation, and future directions.The Routledge Companion to Corporate Social Responsibility represents a prestige reference work providing an overview of the subject area of CSR for academics, researchers, postgraduate students, as well as reflective practitioners.

Wird ein Bauvertrag vorzeitig gekündigt, hat dies Auswirkungen auf den Vergütungsanspruch des Auftragnehmers. In Abhängigkeit von der Vertragsart und den Kündigungsumständen unterscheiden sich die Abrechnungen des Anspruchs für erbrachte Leistungen, Aufwendungen etc., die berücksichtigt werden müssen.

Gleiches gilt im Übrigen auch für die Prüfung der entsprechenden Schlussrechnung.Dieses Buch hat zum Ziel, sich der Komplexität der Abrechnung von Kündigungsvergütungen auf der Grundlage verschiedener Quellen anzunehmen, Grundsätze und Empfehlungen zu formulieren und diese anschließend in einen entsprechenden Leitfaden praxistauglich zusammenzufassen.

Das LkSG kodifiziert erstmalig Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichten für deutsche Unternehmen und begründet somit einen Paradigmenwechsel von bislang freiwilliger verantwortungsvoller Unternehmensführung hin zu Verbindlichkeit hinsichtlich Umwelt- und Menschenrechtssorgfalt. Die Neuartigkeit des Regelungskontextes sowie erhebliche Negativfolgen bei Non-Compliance resultieren in großen Herausforderungen bei der Umsetzung der Vorgaben. Medienwirksame Menschenrechtskatastrophen haben in diesem Zusammenhang die gesellschaftliche Sensibilisierung für menschenrechtliche Auswirkungen in den international verflochtenen und hochrisikobehafteten textilen Lieferketten deutlich erhöht.Vor diesem Hintergrund erfolgt eine ausführliche Darstellung der Rechtsgrundlagen, komplexen Regelungsinhalte und ökonomischen Implikationen des Gesetzes. Außerdem bietet das Buch eine praktische Orientierungshilfe zur Umsetzung des LkSG. So erfolgt eine exemplarische Risikoanalyse, welche die im Gesetz definierten geschützten Rechtsgüter und Anforderungen praxisnah illustriert. Anhand der Herleitung eines konkreten Risikobewertungsframeworks sowie spezifischer Umsetzungsinstrumente zur Maßnahmenwirksamkeitsmessung werden weitere konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet. Das Buch empfiehlt schließlich die integrierte Steuerung der Sorgfaltspflichten anhand etablierter Managementinstrumente des Compliance- und Risikomanagements zur handlungssicheren und effizienten Umsetzung der Gesetzesanforderungen.
