The world-wide transition towards corporate social responsibility (CSR) results in profound changes to business practices. Hence, this crucial Handbook adopts a global perspective to review key CSR issues and their implications for the future evolution of corporate governance.
Michel Magnan and Giovanna Michelon bring together leading experts who deftly explore the critical tensions and areas of convergence between CSR and corporate governance. The Handbook further assesses the environmental responsibilities corporations are now facing and examines the wide range of social responsibility issues affecting businesses, with a particular focus on corporate philanthropy, boardroom diversity, workplace harassment and gender equality. The Handbook concludes with some thought-provoking discussion about the future evolution of corporate governance if it is to succeed in addressing emerging environmental and social challenges. Arguing that environmental and social responsibilities represent the essence of CSR, this dynamic Handbook provides a number of policy and practical recommendations, proposing ideas for future research and useful indications for boards of directors.
This incisive and forward-thinking Handbook will be an important read for academics and researchers interested in corporate governance, CSR, and sustainability. It will also prove highly beneficial for professionals and practitioners working in corporate governance and its intersection with sustainability.

‘This Handbook couldn't have come out at a better time. With the way we work, consume and communicate changing at a rapid pace, organizational leaders are in constant planning mode, and none will be able to achieve their objectives without a fit-for-purpose governance framework.’

‘This book brilliantly combines CSR and corporate governance concerns by reflecting both an academic lens and a practical perspective. The result is a reference work that is equally useful for researchers, board members, managers, and policymakers. It is as relevant as it is comprehensive, providing an appreciation of the risks as well as the opportunities.’
