Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate social responsibility aims at making the process of maximizing the wealth of shareholders more effectively and fairly by taking care of the needs of the society as well. This concept has gained importance in the recent past as business could realize the benefit of CSR in the form of customer loyalty, community support and reduction in environment hazards. Companies need to identify its key stakeholders so that it can manage social and environment responsibility appropriately in response to these stakeholder's expectations. This paper aims to compare the CSR performances of sample industries in India and develops a relationship between CSR and corporate financial performance. A sample of 120 companies has been taken from the list of ET 500, 2012 to compare the corporate social performance based on self identified parameters of social performance and further relate it with financial performance based on six financial ratios. The result of the Kruskal wallis test reveals that there is no significant difference in the Indian companies in following CSR practices and reporting them in their annual reports. Moreover, as per the correlation analysis no significant relationship was found in the corporate social and financial performance. This implies that Indian companies need to adopt a comprehensive strategy to follow CSR policy implications and take financial benefit of social performance in the long run.

The book explores the various facets of CSR investigation and places special emphasis on the Schedule VII of the Indian Companies Act of 2013, which defines specific areas of intervention for these companies. In addition, it provides a wealth of first-hand case studies that exemplify the ongoing developments and the fundamental challenges and opportunities of mandated CSR.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to present selected theoretical and practical aspects of corporate social responsibility and sustainability, with particular emphasis on the journey (transition) from values to impact. Values play an important role in business world and they shape the responsible approach of organizations. However, pressing and still unresolved challenges of the present day show evidently that there exist significant discrepancies between organizations declarations on values and their real impact. COVID-19 pandemic, Globalization 4.0, climate catastrophe and challenges emphasized by SDGs, constitute the new environment that contemporary organizations face. In effect business is part of the problem and a solution as well. It is necessary to quickly and effectively push for action taking into account the power of responsible business to co-create human live and environment. Both the theoretical considerations and the practice-based studies presented in this monograph make a significant contribution to the theory and practice of management. The book is an extension and enrichment of the existing knowledge in the field of socially responsible management in organizations. Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability will be of value to academics, researchers and advanced students in the fields of business and management, especially those interest in the intersection of management and CSR and sustainability, and those focusing the impact that business activities have on the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a timely contribution to the ongoing questions surrounding topics which are by definition subject to varying stakeholder interpretations, this book addresses “the missing link” between theoretical CSR concepts and everyday management practice. It acts as a guide to awaken managers to the advantages of adopting a CSR “mindset” when developing sustainable business strategies. The book consists of three parts: 1) A theoretical realm which establishes the key concepts and rationale for the adoption of a sustainable CSR approach, 2) A practical realm which addresses putting CSR and sustainability into business practice, 3) An educational realm which proposes how to incorporate the concepts into teaching and training.

Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting in Developing Countries written by Ataur Rahman Belal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the study of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting has largely been within the context of Western economies. However, in the wake of highly publicized incidents such as Bhopal and the struggle of the Ogoni people in Nigeria, many large corporations now claim to be taking steps to improve their environmental and social performance within developing countries. Using the lens of stakeholder theory, this book examines whether the current practice of CSR reporting in developing countries is motivated by a desire to discharge accountability to all relevant stakeholders or whether it is being driven by the imperative of advancing corporate economic interests. While concepts like CSR reporting have become more fashionable, they vary widely in different national contexts; this book therefore clarifies the types and roles of CSR reporting and the underlying corporate motivations. The author considers the current CSR reporting practices in a number of developing countries, with particular attention given to illuminating a case study of Bangladesh.

This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) theory and practices, with special reference to the Indian context. Over the last few decades, which have seen the onset of globalization, emergence of the industrial sector and an increased focus on community development, much attention has been focused on the role of corporations towards developing those societies where their operations are based. The introduction and evolution of CSR theories and practice in the developed countries has given CSR theorists and practitioners the guidance to appropriately place and implement CSR initiatives to help develop their role in the developed societies. However, while ample literature exists on such CSR practices, little has been done to aid the development of CSR in developing countries. Characterized by peculiar economic, political and social settings, the developing world needed its own blueprint for how CSR works and how it could best succeed. The need for doing is especially pertinent to a country like India, which is presently at a very crucial threshold, economically, politically and socially. Given the need to contextualize CSR theory and practice to the developing context, several CSR theories and practices have been explored in this book, which will provide readers with a thorough understanding of CSR and its successful implementation.

This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1, University of Frankfurt (Main), language: English, abstract: This essay is about the Sustainability reporting based on the practical example of Finance in Motion. Corporate Social Responsibility is a concept defined in such diverse ways that Votaw remarked that “the term is a brilliant one, it means something but not always the same to everyone.” It also changes over time, for instance the ancient Greeks considered integrity to be associated with philanthropy and decency, whilst shareholders of the British East India company rated the business a success, despite the depletion of scarce resources and the use of slave labour in foreign countries, practices perceived as unethical in the 21st century. Contemporary CSR might be associated with socially responsible behaviors, legal responsibility, liability, philanthropy, corporate legitimacy or superior standards of business practice, and social conscience. CSR has also become inextricably linked with sustainability and sustainable development as defined by the World Commission on Environment and Development, and more recently with Environmental Social Governance matters which has a greater focus on legal compliance for firms and investors. The Chartered Finance Institute emphasizes the increasing importance of these non-financial ESG factors to investors selecting growth opportunities but requiring strong evidence of responsible behavior by the firms in which they are prepared to invest. ESG is not a mandatory requirement in financial reporting but has been adopted by many organizations as an integral part of their Annual Report, and disclosed in relation to globally recognized standards, which have been developed for instance the United Nations Social Development Goals, the Global Report Initiative or the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. National sustainability codes have also emerged such as the Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex, German Sustainability Code.

Download or read book Managing Corporate Social Responsibility in Action written by Frank de Bakker and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid 1990s political and public debates about the social responsibilities of firms have gained renewed force. Although CSR seems to be a well defined concept in management literature, in its diverse applications the CSR concept loses much of its pertinence. In Managing Corporate Social Responsibility in Action, the authors focus on different aspects of managing CSR in action to capture differences between discourse and practice. By examining the question from three angles - talking about CSR, doing CSR and measuring CSR - they attempt to make sense of the difference between practice and reality. This volume considers ways to overcome the difficulties that arise around CSR in action.

Book excerpt: The convergence of corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate strategy, and public policy has emerged as a critical domain in contemporary business.
