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.

Gegenstand dieses Buches ist die Zurechnung des Wissens der Aufsichtsratsmitglieder einer deutschen AG. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine für die Praxis äußerst aktuelle Problematik, die dem komplexen und in der Rechtswissenschaft hoch umstrittenen Gebiet der Wissenszurechnung bei juristischen Personen angehört. Da die Thematik rund um das Wissen des Aufsichtsrats nicht ohne ein Grundverständnis der Wissenszurechnung im Ganzen analysiert werden kann, arbeitet der Autor zunächst die Entwicklungen dieses Rechtsinstituts auf und geht dabei insbesondere auf ungeklärte Aspekte ein, die an späterer Stelle für den Aufsichtsrat von Bedeutung sind. Hierauf folgt eine Untersuchung aller rechtlichen und tatsächlichen Entwicklungen des Aufsichtsorgans in den letzten Jahrzehnten, die für die Wissenszurechnung relevant sind und deren Berücksichtigung in der Literatur bislang ausblieb. Das auf dieser Grundlage vom Autor entwickelte Lösungsmodell bietet der Praxis ein eingängiges Instrument, welches nicht nur auf das Wissen des Aufsichtsrats anwendbar ist, sondern nahezu alle denkbaren Konstellationen der zivilrechtlichen Wissenszurechnung einbezieht.

This book brings together diverse ideas on selected facets of globalisation and transitions in globalisation. The scholars that have contributed to this book examine the phenomenon of globalisation through varied lenses, focusing specifically on the human and economic perspectives. These analyses originate in many areas and different legal systems but are all connected through the work of Professor John Farrar and the associations of the contributors with him. This book does not attempt to provide answers to the many challenges of globalisation. Instead, this book discusses selected, particular aspects of globalisation that derive from and are connected to the authors' own research. The thematic diversity of this book is a true strength and should draw a broad range of readers. Whilst this book is primarily written from a legal angle, its content overlaps with broader specialised policy areas, with contributions ranging from taxation to ageing, from insolvency to social licences, and from refugees to the treatment of first nations people. In short, there is something for everyone in this book. As a tribute to the life's work of an outstanding legal scholar, Professor John Farrar, this book explores legal responses to the social and economic impacts of globalisation. After personal acknowledgments from colleagues highlighting the significance of his scholarship, this book is divided into two parts. The first part addresses the social impact of globalisation, focusing on immigration and the impact on First Nations people. Changes in the regulation of medicine and technologies related to ageing are also addressed in this part. In part two, the book addresses the transitioning corporate law landscape and notions of fairness and good faith in the law. The final part contains the conclusions, reflections and synthesis of the editors.
