The Environment and Corporate Social Responsibility

The book is a contribution to the literature using recent contemporary approaches in the area of environmental sociology. It distinguishes major types of corporate social initiatives and offers perspectives from professionals in the field on the strengths and weaknesses of each in terms of benefits to the cause and benefit to business organisations operating within human and biodiversity habitats. It will serve as a guide to professionals in the fields of sociology, law, economics, humanities, and business management. Policy makers within the sphere of corporate accountability and foreign direct investment will find the content of this book very relevant. Despite the varied utility of concepts and theoretical underpinning, the author has explored widely on the scope and dimensions of the burning issues of social accountability of corporations and their much needed policies toward a cleaner and sustainable environment.
