ISBN 9781906093389

Each regional and national profile includes ke y information about the relevant history, country- specific issues, trends, research and leading organisations. The purpose of the book is to give CSR professionals (including managers, c onsultants, academics and NGOs focusing on the social, environmental and et hical responsibilities of business) a quick reference guide to CSR in diffe rent regional and national contexts.

The book is an edited volume, with expert contributors from around the worl d, all of whom have been screened and selected on the basis of their qualif ications 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; and, Ref erences. 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 con, As New
