Handbook on Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-80220-876-4 (ISBN)
Michel Magnan and Giovanna Michelon bring together leading experts who deftly explore the critical tensions and areas of convergence between CSR and corporate governance. The Handbook further assesses the environmental responsibilities corporations are now facing and examines the wide range of social responsibility issues affecting businesses, with a particular focus on corporate philanthropy, boardroom diversity, workplace harassment and gender equality. The Handbook concludes with some thought-provoking discussion about the future evolution of corporate governance if it is to succeed in addressing emerging environmental and social challenges. Arguing that environmental and social responsibilities represent the essence of CSR, this dynamic Handbook provides a number of policy and practical recommendations, proposing ideas for future research and useful indications for boards of directors.
This incisive and forward-thinking Handbook will be an important read for academics and researchers interested in corporate governance, CSR, and sustainability. It will also prove highly beneficial for professionals and practitioners working in corporate governance and its intersection with sustainability.
Edited by Michel Magnan, Distinguished University Professor of Accountancy and S.A. Jarislowsky Chair in Corporate Governance, John Molson School of Business, Concordia University, Canada and Giovanna Michelon, University of Padova, Italy
