*********************************
Business in a globalised world is no longer only about profit.
Companies that operate globally are increasingly being called to
account over their social responsibilities to the workforce, local
communities and the environment. Companies that take these
responsibilities seriously are faced with a plethora of problems and
dilemmas. For example, how can companies navigate the sea of tension
between observing international rules of conduct and responding to
specific local cultural circumstances? How can they ensure social
responsibility in the product chain(s) in which they operate? And how
can they best contribute to the local economy of developing countries?
This book helps companies with good intentions but little experience to
find answers to these questions and many others. The book offers
concrete guidelines, step-by-step plans and practical examples based on
the experiences of 20 diverse, large, medium and small companies that
participated in the three-year Dutch programme 'Corporate Social
Responsibility in an International Context' organised by CSR
Netherlands. ‘Corporate Social Responsibility and Globalisation’
constitutes a guidebook and action plan to enable companies of all
sizes to manage risk and seek out opportunities for engagement in their
overseas operations.
