"The World Guide to CSR
represents an ambitious but needed project to fill a gap in the
literature. Its emphasis on CSR context, issues, trends, legislation
and codes, organisations and case studies creates an excellent
template for reporting on country- and region-specific CSR
programmes. I cannot think of better professional leadership than
Wayne Visser and CSR International for this exciting project. I
strongly and enthusiastically endorse this initiative."
Archie B. Carroll, Director, Nonprofit
Management & Community Service Program & Robert W. Scherer
Professor Emeritus, Terry College of Business, University of
Georgia, Athens, GA, USA
"Finally a book that
showcases the diversity and commonalities of CSR globally. It is the
best and most systematic map of CSR and an essential read for
everyone who thinks about and decides on CSR in a global context. A
must-have."
Dirk Matten,
Hewlett-Packard Chair in Corporate Social Responsibility, Professor
of Strategy, Schulich School of Business, Toronto
"At
last, a book that tells us what corporate responsibility really is
and how it transforms modern-day business into something worthwhile.
A terrific guidebook that takes us across all corners of the world
where business is done."
Charlotte
Wolff, Group Corporate Responsibility Manager,
ArcelorMittal
"I am delighted to find a book that
offers a global view of the world of CSR, yet from so many different
viewpoints, and all of them produced by CSR experts in their own
countries. This is going to be around for a long time and it will
grow in value as we learn to use it more."
Michael Kelly, Head of Corporate Social
Responsibility, KPMG Europe LLP
"New times create new
needs. And new needs require new solutions. The 21st-century
business of business is still business. But as the world grows
smaller and global challenges grow bigger the rules of how to
stay in business are changing. CSR is an important first step
towards a renewed version of capitalism. The World Guide to
CSR provides us with a long-awaited global context for the
current transition towards sustainable business actions in a wide
array of countries worldwide."

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 nearly 60 countries.
Each regional and national profile includes key information about
the relevant CSR history, country-specific issues, trends, research
and leading organisations.
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
- Organisations
- 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.
