International Corporate Social Responsibility: The Role of Corporations in the Economic Order of the 21st Century Ramon Mullerat

Corporations and law firms want to keep up-to-date with the wide range of initiatives and codes of practice on CSR, and with policies being used by other companies.

The book is divided into four sections as follows.

1. Trends in CSR

This includes trends in different jurisdictions and areas which may be subject to legislation rather than "soft law".

2. Multinational Initiatives

This includes coverage of source materials including codes of practice published by organisations such as the UN, the ICC, the OECD, the Global Reporting Initiative and various financial institutions.

3. Industry Sectors

This includes CSR principles in specific sectors such as banking and finance, clothing, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, energy and professional services.

4. Private Initiatives

This includes examples of CSR policies from international corporations such as Coca Cola, Dell, Ericson, Hewlett-Packard, Ford, General Electric, Mitsubishi, Shell and Wal Mart.
