La Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) ha sido una preocupación importante desde mediados del siglo pasado, con una constante ampliación y extensión de su alcance desde el ámbito interno de la empresa, hacia su entorno externo. En su origen, en la década del 20, enfatizaba un principio que no ha perdido vigencia en la actualidad y que indudablemente se ha hecho más relevante, sino tal vez -desde la perspectiva ética- más urgente, a saber: si la empresa utiliza recursos privados y públicos, éstos deben utilizarse de manera que los beneficios que generen no afecten negativamente, sino que favorezcan el bienestar de la sociedad. Este libro delimita el ámbito de aplicación de la RSE, asumiendo las restricciones legales, sociales, económicas, institucionales y de gestión estratégica, aunque con un rol central de los principios y valores de corporativos, que deben ser definidos por los máximos niveles directivos de una organización. Toma en cuenta, además, el amplio consenso que existe respecto de que una de las competencias fundamentales de las organizaciones modernas, es su capacidad de construir relaciones estables y de mutua confianza con su entorno interno y externo, como condición previa para el logro de objetivos sostenibles.

Ni la acumulación de deuda, ni la construcción de viviendas ni el consumo ilimitado de productos y recursos nos sacarán de la profunda crisis económica, energética y medioambiental que vivimos. El futuro pertenece a las sociedades que faciliten el despliegue de la capacidad emprendedora de sus ciudadanos. Bajo esta premisa, Ángel Pes y Norbert Bilbeny se adentran en el papel clave de la responsabilidad social de las empresas y, desde una visión eminentemente práctica, defienden la necesidad de promover la actividad emprendedora sin descuidar la distribución equitativa de los beneficios del desarrollo económico y su carácter sostenible.Para ello, explican cómo dar forma a las exigencias de una economía sostenible a través de numerosos ejemplos de empresas que han sabido ver las ventajas que ofrece la responsabilidad corporativa. Ser empresario responsable no solo es una elección: es una necesidad para construir el futuro.

La globalización ha provocado, sin duda, una notable degradación de las condiciones laborales de los trabajadores, incluso en términos de violación de Derechos Humanos fundamentales. Pero la consecuencia más nefasta desde el punto de vista sindical ha sido la desarticulación organizativa de los trabajadores ante las nuevas formas de organización del trabajo. Se recogen las cuestiones fundamentales en torno a la RSE y las actuaciones que hasta aquí se han producido; se presentan alternativas y situaciones posibles.

In a dramatic departure from its voluntary origins, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is rapidly shifting to hold multinational companies accountable for more than traditional shareholder performance. This CSR movement is embracing new environmental, social and governance (ESG) frameworks that both promote global sustainability goals and enhance accountability for negative impacts businesses can have on ‘planet and people’. This collection of essays by leading businesspeople, international civil servants, legal practitioners, academics, and other experts offers a forward-looking and pragmatic perspective that illuminates the major themes in this movement towards increasingly sustainable, transparent and accountable business practices. The collection shows how CSR has evolved to account for societal pressures, environmental, climate change and human rights impacts, international policy imperatives and the practical challenges of regulating commercial activity that transcends borders. The chapters offer an in-depth examination of current issues including: international frameworks and multistakeholder initiatives catalysing foundational change; the shifting emphasis on corporate imperatives to avoid harm to third parties; trends in CSR, focused on assuring the planet's future sustainability and social stability; regulatory initiatives around the globe, including Europe, North America, Asia and Africa; and extended accountability for activities of corporate group members and supply chains. The pressure and business case for companies to incorporate CSR into corporate governance is intensifying with each quarter, shareholder meeting, and regulatory agenda. The integration of CSR and new ESG frameworks into multinational corporate strategy and operations is key to sustainable business models that can generate long-term value for the organization and all stakeholders. Their acceptance as cornerstones of 21st century business practice appears inevitable. Taking full account of the imperative for companies and their lawyers to grapple with the practical and legal challenges in this area, this volume is an invaluable and pragmatic addition to the practitioners’ toolbox at this important juncture in an ever-more dynamic field.

The World Guide to CSR is the first book to provide comparable national profiles that describe the evolution and practice of Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility (CSR) for 58 countries and 5 global regions. Each regional and national profile includes key information about the relevant CSR history, country-specific issues, trends, research and leading organizations. The purpose of the book is to give CSR professionals (including managers, consultants, academics and NGOs focusing on the social, environmental and ethical responsibilities of business) a quick reference guide to CSR in different regional and national contexts. The need for the book is premised on the fact that CSR professionals and researchers more often than not have a multinational remit and are required to benchmark performance internationally, but find that country-specific CSR information is ad hoc, limited or non-existent. Even where national CSR research exists, it is often hidden in academic journals that practitioners cannot access or do not have the time or inclination to read. The book is an edited volume, with expert contributors from around the world, all of whom have been screened and selected on the basis of their qualifications and experience in CSR. Each regional/country profile includes the following subsections:CSR in context Priority issues Trends Legislation and codes Organizations Case studies Educational institutions References This unique resource will be an essential acquisition for all organisations who need to benchmark their CSR strategies throughout different regions and cultures and want the best possible intelligence on the key issues and concerns relating to corporate social responsibility in all of the markets in which they operate.
