About the Book:
The field of corporate responsibility and sustainability has changed radically since the publication of the first edition of The Corporate Responsibility Code Book in late 2003. This second edition of the book reflects these changes, with the inclusion of a raft of new initiatives, revisions reflecting the improvements made to many others and the elimination of several initiatives that have been out- grown by developments.
The Corporate Responsibility Code Book explains some of the best CR instruments available, and distils their most valuable elements. It is a guide for companies trying to understand the landscape of corporate responsibility and searching for their own, unique route towards satisfying diverse stake- holders. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. A company may face quite different challenges if it operates in more than one part of the world. And yet stakeholders, especially consumers and inves- tors, are keen for some degree of comparability with which they can evaluate corporate performance. This book is based on interviews with the standard-setters, the implementers of standards, academ- ics, activists and other key stakeholders from around the world; and in many cases includes the full text of the code profiled. Each of the standards and codes described has been shared with the promul gators of the instrument to ensure that the information is as up to date as possible.
The Corporate Responsibility Code Book will be an invaluable tool for companies developing their own code, but will also be a key tool for companies with a strong track record in CR, seeking to under- stand the interrelationships among codes and standards to create their own corporate vision. It will continue to be the key reference text on corporate codes of conduct for many years to come.
