Under hösten 2008 kommer en ny bok om CSR ut i handeln. Boken ”Global Practices of Corporate Social Responsibility” innehåller 24 kapitel från 24 länder som beskriver utvecklingen och hanteringen av CSR-frågor i dessa länder. Vi har tillsammans med Pauline Göthberg skrivit kapitlet om Sverige. Boken beskrivs på följande sätt av de två redaktörerna:
Being socially responsible on the part of corporate entities is now no longer an option, it is part of their normal business obligations to all their stakeholders regardless of whether these are primary or secondary stakeholders. Modern societies around the world now expect corporate entities of all shapes and forms to be socially responsible in whatever they do; the “Global Practices of Corporate Social Responsibility” is a first attempt at bringing together in one book experts' accounts of how corporate entities in twenty independent nations around the world are dealing with the issue of CSR. The world today faces diverse social problems. These become apparent as one moves from one country to the next, interestingly, society now expects corporations to help in finding solutions to these problems. The problem of global warming affects us all; modern corporations can no longer continue to assume that the problem will go away, if nothing is done by them. We can all make a little difference by our actions.
Boken ges ut av Springer och har redigerats av Samuel Idowu och Walter Leal Filho. För er som är intresserade kan boken beställas här.
