Book Synopsis CSR-Reporting obligation in Denmark and France and its influence on a firm's market value by : Anneke Klein
Download or read book CSR-Reporting obligation in Denmark and France and its influence on a firm's market value written by Anneke Klein and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg (Wirtschafts- und Rechtswissenschaften), language: English, abstract: This paper examines the influence of the ESG-Score on the market value. Unlike most researches, this one does not only concentrate on the effect of a single ESG-Score. Instead, it is a natural experience, analysing the impact of an exogenous event on a firm’s market value. More precisely, the influence of a law’s implementation to disclose sustainable belongings of a firm. The two countries that introduced aforementioned law were Denmark in 2009 and France in 2012. By using a Difference-in-Differences Approach, significant changes in market value for firm’s obligated to report within those countries are analysed and compared to other firms non obligated, listed in the STOXX Europe 600. The estimates suggest a significant negative influence on the market value for firms obligated to report situated in the post-intervention. Further, the negative influence increases with a complementary increase in delta ESG-Score. Those results suggest that a company should not suddenly abdomen itself to sustainability from one year to another. It is advisable to gradually address the matter in order to not negatively influence the market value of the company. Sustainable thinking is a movement of modern world society that can be noticed each passing day. When comparing the year of 2009 with the one of 2012, an increase in socially reasonable investment assets of 22 percent is noticeable. Besides, an ever-increasing number of people are joining environmental protest groups and pressure governments over the world to act. They want the government to, for example, force firms to produce more sustainable. Therefore, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is becoming increasingly important in the daily business of a company. Many firms consequently responded by publishing a sustainability report each year and with that voluntarily report about environmental and social concerns of the company. Often, they disclosure such a report to legitimize their behaviour and actions. The government of Denmark reacted in 2009 and the one of France in 2012 to named protests with a law requiring companies meeting certain criteria to publish a report that contains non-financial information.

Book Synopsis The importance and significance of Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting by : Marina Cuvilceva
Download or read book The importance and significance of Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting written by Marina Cuvilceva and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 1,3, Martin Luther University, language: English, abstract: Recently Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) gained pretty much attention in the media and in the business world, mostly because of the corporate scandals, like of Enron or Lehman Brothers, financial market crisis and environmental concerns as well as sequential discussion of CSR and CSR reporting on different levels. This paper answers the questions if CSR reporting is important and significant topic and if so, then why it is important and why the companies are motivated to report. These answers are gained through analysis of the relevant academic literature, with the help of the statistical data and are illustrated with the real world example, CSR report of German telecommunication company Deutsche Telekom AG. The results present that there are few supporting arguments that show that CSR reporting is important to the companies, society and government. Although there are many problems and stumbling points in CSR reporting, which are also partially presented and discussed in this paper, the CSR reporting is of a large interest and is still growing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a flavour of the Danish landscape when it comes to corporate values and social responsibility.

One of them is Professor Peter Pruzan. He has been an inspiration, collaborator and critical voice for Danish and international companies, NGOs, academics and the media throughout the last 20 years on issues of corporate values and responsibility. This book is written in honour of Peter. Managers and students of contemporary business will find inspiration in company cases, analytical models and critical reflections on the Case of Denmark on issues of values and social responsibility.

Book Synopsis Corporate Social Responsibility, Accountability and Governance by : Istemi Demirag
Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility, Accountability and Governance written by Istemi Demirag and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "business case" for corporate social responsibility, which suggests that socially and environmentally aware companies can expect to reap financial rewards, is seemingly gaining widespread acceptance within the business community. This is particularly apparent in the ever-increasing number of prominent companies parading their social, ethical and environmental credentials by producing paper- or web-based social and environmental, or sustainability, reports. In so doing, reporting companies claim, they are demonstrating a clear commitment to transparency and accountability to their key stakeholder groups. However, in the prevailing voluntaristic, business-case-centred climate within which such initiatives are taking place, little thought appears to have gone into the question of how stakeholders, other than the capital provider group, can actually use corporate disclosures offered in order to hold management accountable for the social and environmental consequences of their actions. While much corporate rhetoric abounds concerning notions of stakeholder dialogue and engagement, rigorous analysis of the governance implications of their claimed commitment to the principles of corporate social responsibility is largely conspicuous by its absence. Corporate Social Responsibility, Accountability and Governance seeks to explore this "missing link" between CSR (and associated reporting initiatives) and governance mechanisms that are capable of embracing true stakeholder accountability. A wide range of case studies, drawing on experiences of both public- and private-sector initiatives in Europe, the United States, Canada, South America and Asia, offer insightful analysis of the complex relationships between the state, the market and civil society in the development of CSR, accountability and sustainable development. The book employs a multidisciplinary perspective in order to analyse the political, social, economic, technological, legal and organisational shaping of CSR. The complexities underpinning the concept are thereby clearly drawn out and the gross oversimplifications inherent in the prevailing consultancy-driven, business-case literature painfully exposed. Above all, the book offers a sound, practically and theoretically informed contribution to public policy debate and reflects and builds on urgent calls from public- and private-sector policy-makers as well as academics to develop better governance and accountability frameworks for business to deal with the imperatives of social responsibility, sustainable development and ethics. This book is divided into five parts. In Part 1, the complex concepts of responsibility, accountability and governance are discussed, and in particular the presumed relationships between the state, the market and civil society in improving accountability and governance are explored and critiqued. Part 2 consists of chapters relating to corporate social responsibility and stakeholder theory. Part 3 is concerned with empirical studies covering governance structures, networking and corporate social responsibility. Part 4 deals with corporate governance and its implications for regulators and civil society. Part 5 discusses multinational companies and how they impact on national governance regimes. Finally, a summary is provided with emerging international patterns of accountability and governance structures. Corporate Social Responsibility, Accountability and Governance will be essential reading for public and private policy-makers and practitioners and academics interested in how CSR can become more than a soundbite, and rather a substantial force for better global corporate governance and accountability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts of corporate social responsibility (CSR) are widely used by businesses, professional bodies and academics, but are also widely contested. CSR is usually described as comprising three elements: environmental, economic and social, though there is no serious consensus on how to go about translating ideas into practice. This research handbook addresses some key areas of contention, theory and practice within CSR in order to address, challenge and inform debate in academia and practice. The collaborative text extends understanding of CSR through articulating current thinking on each facet of a vital subject. Each theme is represented by inter-disciplinary discussion of key questions on CSR by researchers and practitioners in the field. In doing so, the book: Explores and critiques CSR goals, and national, organizational and managerial strategies Reviews the distinctive role and importance of CSR to academics, professionals and practitioners and identifies appropriate bridging strategies Evaluates the nature, direction and applicability of selected theoretical dimensions which inform the understanding of CSR Assesses the opportunities for theory building, to support further understanding of the complexities of CSR and the sustainability and long term value of CSR practice to corporations and civil society This timely and significant contribution to the theory and practice of CSR will prove to be vital reading for students, researchers and practitioners involved with the field. It will also become a key reference for anyone with an interest in business and society.
Book Synopsis Corporate Responsibility in Europe by : Thomas Beschorner
Download or read book Corporate Responsibility in Europe written by Thomas Beschorner and published by Verlag Bertelsmann Stiftung. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sector-specific approach to Corporate Responsibility (CR) has attracted little attention so far, although the industrial sector is a key variable in any company's economic environment. Therefore, this book introduces sector-specific CR as a way to increase the success and impact of business engagement. It focuses on sector-specific initiatives with government involvement as appropriate governance mechanisms to address sustainability challenges through public-private collaboration. What is the state of sector-specific CR across Europe? How do sector-specific initiatives work and what are criteria for their good performance? What roles do governments play in such initiatives? To answer these questions, the book draws on rich empirical evidence from five industries across eight European countries as well as on the expertise of numerous CR and industry experts. In doing so, its target audience is both researchers and practitioners. Academics will find a starting point for further research in this emerging field, whereas practitioners are offered empirical and effective models for promoting sector-specific CR.
Book Synopsis Corporate Social Responsibility in Europe by : Samuel O. Idowu
Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility in Europe written by Samuel O. Idowu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the current state of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in 24 European nations, examining the state of the development and practice of CSR and sustainability for organizations in these countries. The common denominator for all of the book’s 25 chapters is a management perspective rather than an ethical discourse. The book therefore represents a comprehensive survey of initiatives and activities in the field of CSR and provides a wealth of complete cases and examples for different approaches to sustainable and responsible management practice. The book also reviews the relevant political and governmental guidelines and frameworks for organizations, both on a national and a European level. Europe has taken a leading role in the promotion and implementation of CSR. This book showcases how, through CSR, enterprises can significantly contribute to achieving the European Union’s treaty objectives of sustainable development and a highly competitive social market economy.
Book Synopsis Corporate Governance Regulation by : Alice Klettner
Download or read book Corporate Governance Regulation written by Alice Klettner and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate governance regulation has been through numerous cycles of reform, and yet we still see instances of companies collapsing suddenly. Codes of corporate governance have been implemented in most developed countries, recommending detailed governance frameworks for publicly listed companies and their boards, but our understanding of how these codes influence behaviour is still limited. In this book, Alice Klettner draws on the domains of law and business to explore the effectiveness of corporate governance codes. Using interview evidence from company directors and officers, as well as published evidence of companies’ corporate governance systems, she discusses the theory and practice of corporate governance and its regulation – with a focus on how corporate governance codes can affect board behaviour and company performance. This interdisciplinary book will be valuable reading for advanced students and researchers of corporate governance, and will also be directly relevant to governance practitioners and policymakers.
