It is no longer the case that it�€�s only society which benefits from CSR actions. A corporation actually helps itself when operating sustainably and does well because of its triple bottom line actions. The editors of People, Planet and Profit believe that whilst Corporate Social Responsibility is by now a familiar concept to academics or practitioners, insufficient attention has been paid to the end product of CSR in practice, which they define in terms of social and economic developmental effect. The contributions in this edited volume explain the developmental aspect of CSR from a conceptual perspective and provide empirical evidence of the impact of CSR delivery on stakeholders in different corners of the World. The emphasis is on what corporations take from and give back to their stakeholders whilst trying to behave in a corporately responsible fashion. Stakeholders, including employees, customers, host communities, governments and NGOs have diverse interests and expectations of CSR. This gives rise to questions about whether the activities corporations support are the ones today�€�s stakeholders need; whether the CSR programmes being delivered are adequate; and about the relationship between the corporations�€� view of what constitutes CSR and that of the supposed beneficiaries. This book offers thoughtful answers to these questions and assesses the outcomes of corporate activities both in developed and developing countries and regions, in terms of economic progress and social and political advancement.

This timely Handbook demonstrates how AI can be used to create circular economies with the goal of reducing waste, reusing waste products and protecting the planet. Leading scholars from across the globe highlight the potential of circular economies to transform operational approaches, moving beyond the traditional and unsustainable ’take-make-dispose’ model.Through extensive research and case studies, this Handbook illustrates how AI can facilitate the shift to a circular economy by optimizing a decision-making framework that results in better choices, more efficient processes and streamlined outcomes. By adopting interdisciplinary perspectives which draw on sustainability, operations and ethics studies, contributing authors analyze the benefits of AI in key areas, including healthcare, supply chains, marketing, product design and manufacturing. Ultimately, this Handbook outlines how AI can reduce the complexity of circular transitions to accelerate systemic, cross-sector change.The Handbook on Artificial Intelligence and the Circular Economy is a valuable resource for scholars and students of environmental policy, environmental economics, technology management, industrial engineering and human geography. It is also useful for policy-makers, business managers and operations and supply chain management professionals interested in the practical applications of AI to enhance sustainability.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores the current state of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) from an international perspective, the goal being to share ideas and visions for a sustainable future and to provide useful guidelines for academics, practitioners and policymakers in the context of the 2030 “Agenda for Sustainable Development” released by the United Nations. Research on CSR has evolved considerably over the last three decades. However, there are still many unanswered questions concerning the sustainability of business in an increasingly changing world, for example: If most companies consider CSR to be valuable to their organizations, why do only 15% of them systematically implement Social Responsibility initiatives? If CSR has been found to be profitable for companies, why are they so reluctant to develop an active, internal CSR policy? Why are there such significant differences in CSR adoption from country to country? Why does it take a huge crisis to make politicians react and regulate certain core CSR issues? This contributed volume answers these questions, presenting a wealth of case studies and new approaches in the process.
