Corporate Responsibility And Sustainable Development: Exploring The Nexus Of Private And Public Interests (Routledge Research In Sustainability And Business)

This book explores the gaps and overlaps between corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, two concepts that might reconcile many of the big challenges facing the world: tensions between respect for the natural environment, social justice, and economic development; the long view versus short-term imperatives; the competing priorities between developed and developing economies; the private interests of businesses and the public interests of communities and civil society. These concerns overlap because they implicate corporate practices, state development policy challenges, the concerns and priorities of non-governmental organisations, and the potential for innovative forms of organisation to address these challenges.
