Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a buzzword in management today. And yet, skepticism often prevails, as CSR is often associated with traditional philanthropic practices enabling companies to greenwash their unethical social and environmental practices. This book offers a fresh view on today's CSR from both historical and geographical perspectives. Exploring its roots and theoretical developments in the US, the author then focuses on how CSR has spread across the world, first in Europe and later in the developing world. An updated overview of today's CSR agenda is provided with a focus on four key issues: stakeholder inclusion, employee engagement and social dialogue, human rights and environmental sustainability. With the support of multiple cases and examples taken from various continents and industries, the book adopts a sustainability-driven perspective, based on the belief that the future of CSR lies in the strategic embeddeness of key issues into the company's value chain. Finally, the book attempts to draw the contours of tomorrow's CSR by proposing a new terminology reflecting the current evolution of CSR.

Le monde est d?sormais entr? dans l’?re de l’urbain, la majorit? des habitants de la plan?te vivant en ville. Rassemblant les deux tiers de la population mondiale, l’Asie concentre plus de la moiti? des villes vuln?rables dans le monde. Le th?me de la ville durable en Asie s’est donc impos? comme central pour cet ouvrage qui rassemble des contributeurs dont l’expertise sur le d?veloppement urbain en Asie est reconnue, et qui viennent d’horizons scientifiques, professionnels et g?ographiques divers.
L’?clairage interdisciplinaire des modes de fabrication de la ville durable en Asie permet de renforcer les connaissances sur ce domaine de recherche. Par ailleurs, l’originalit? de cet ouvrage est de ne pas se centrer sur un pays ou une ville particuli?re d’Asie mais de proposer une s?rie de contributions crois?es sur de nombreux cas d’?tude et de laboratoires urbains hautement significatifs en Chine, Inde, Cor?e, Japon, etc.
Ce livre s’organise en trois parties : il ?tudie dans un premier temps les mod?les th?oriques existants, puis leur mise en application et finalement leur capacit? ? r?pondre aux urgences soci?tales. Cette r?flexion est ?galement enrichie par les contributions du Pr. Klaus R. Kunzmann, l’un des urbanistes les plus reconnus sur la sc?ne acad?mique mondiale, europ?enne et asiatique.

Описание: This volume explores the governance patterns of three cities of the Americas, Seattle, Montreal, and Curitiba, which all present different but interesting cases in dealing with sustainable urban transport challenges. The authors study empirical data from these three cities to analyze how specific governmental and policy instruments (planning, consultation and market mechanisms for example) were implemented in each case. Through concepts coming from policy studies and sociology, for example, such as path dependency, institutional culture and transaction costs, the three cities are also looked at in a broader perspective in order to better understand how they deal differently with their common challenges.

Описание: If we assume recession as being the starting point for policy challenges, then we can interpret these economic downturns as opportunities for change and the reshaping of society, landscapes and the latent mechanisms of growth. This book illustrates different aspects of local strategic development introducing a novel interpretation of the intimate relationship between demographic and economic aspects in complex socio-environmental systems. A specific approach investigating the mechanisms of local development, cultural and environmental values within a strategic territorial vision, is proposed. Coming from and appealing to diverse academic backgrounds, our book address paradigmatic visions about regional and urban dynamics, focusing on landscape transformations and socioeconomic disparities.
Technical topics discussed in the book include:
Urban management;
Metropolitan governance;
Landscape;
Spatial planning;
Applied economics;

Описание: Sustainability is a concept that unifies the environment, economy, and society, and has spread as a key concept in enterprise management. The United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, which require worldwide efforts to reach a sustainable society, and also applies to private enterprises.Sustainability should be developed in connection with management strategy, and Asia's role, including that of Japan, is important to improve global sustainability. This book addresses how sustainability management in the Asian context is currently practised and proposes practices for the future.Investigation of the effect of business domain characteristics on the integration of sustainability and management, and elucidation of the process and features of EMCS (Environmental Management Control System) inside and outside of companies have been indicated. The book points that companies need to use and design Sustainability Management Control Systems in order to implement a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) strategy and match employees' behavior to CSR activities.MFCA (Material Flow Cost Accounting) has started to expand rapidly into other Asian industries from Japan as a method of Environmental Management Control. The fundamental idea and procedure of MFCA and many case examples of Japanese MFCA have been reported. These findings help us to consider a policy for continuous use of MFCA. Moreover, the relationship between Toyota Production System and MFCA has been explained and 'Material Flow Time Costing' as a new management accounting concept is proposed.Based on the literature review, the study has made recommendations for Asian companies' strategic management and governmental policy-making to improve both quality and quantity of sustainability disclosure in Asia. One of the papers has identified the development and implementation of social and environmental accounting by Indonesian state-owned enterprises and their determining factors. In a Japanese manufacture, the effect of smoothed production has been analyzed as an example of environmental management. This led to an increase in production quality without additional capital spending.
