First sentence: I am very grateful to Kluwer Law International Publishers and the International Bar Association for having asked me to invite a number of miscellaneous authors coming from different quarters but all of them excelling in their professions and enthusiastic with the idea of putting together their views on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to help the world to be more human.
Description: "In a world where the annual income of the five largest business corporations is more than double the combined GNPs of the 50 poorest countries, the need for meaningful standards of corporate social responsibility should be obvious. The analyses in this volume provide an excellent starting point for those anxious to move the agenda forward in this area that, despite the efforts of many companies, often seems so intractable. The book will be of immeasurable value to all professionals and academics in relevant fields of law, policy, and business."--BOOK JACKET.
