CSR AND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS introduces many perspectives on corporate social responsibility and sustainable business, and describes how the different perspectives are connected. The reasoning is linked to real-world examples and cases. CSR is subject to rapid developments within both politics and business, nationally and globally. The relationships between business and society, and between economics and politics, affect both the content of sustainability practices and the expressions and directions they take in research, which several of the book's chapters address. <br/><br/>In this revised edition, we have added a focus on how geopolitical conflicts affect companies' opportunities to pursue sustainability issues, as well as a description of the new regulations from the EU. The book provides both an overview of the most important concepts and theories, and an in-depth presentation of historical perspectives and connections to business ethics. Theory is interspersed with examples from a wide range of companies and organizations. The book is divided into three parts: <br/><br/>The first part provides a broad introduction to CSR and sustainability and introduces concepts and definitions in the field. It contains a new chapter on social sustainability. <br/><br/>The second part in various ways highlights responsibility and sustainability work in the practices of companies and business operations, covering everything from the consumer and value chain perspectives to sustainability reporting. <br/><br/>The third and final part of the book lifts the gaze to a more strategic level where the role of capital and investments in companies' sustainability work is highlighted, along with how general sustainability strategies can be communicated. <br/><br/>The book brings together some of the most influential experts in the field and is used at many universities and management training courses in Sweden.
