El concepto de responsabilidad social corporativa (RSC) considera las organizaciones como instituciones sociales en las que la creación de valor a largo plazo para los inversores, los consumidores y otros grupos de interés se basa en las relaciones de confianza que se establecen entre los individuos que forman parte de ellas. Este concepto no exime a las organizaciones con ánimo de lucro de la obtención de un beneficio, pero lo hace desde unos parámetros diferentes. En este libro se define el concepto de la sostenibilidad y de la RSC como una nueva forma de gestión que permita a las organizaciones abordar este nuevo paradigma. Esta obra ha sido desarrollada por un grupo de profesores, expertos en la materia y comprometidos con la docencia, la investigación, la gestión y la difusión de la RSC como herramienta de gestión interna y externa para la obtención de un desarrollo sostenible.

ISBN: 1134176708

This text demonstrates how businesses and institutions continue to operate outside the ecological carrying capacity of the environment, and highlights the need for participation and social innovation on their part. It asserts that senior executives and middle management in large corporations have often sought, deliberately or unconsciously, to block the advancement of environmentalism. Industry has reconstructed the more radical environmental agenda to suit its own purposes, in effect hijacking it, by taking it out of its traditional discourse and placing it in a liberal-productivist framework. The book concludes by examining the way forward for more sustainable business, presenting new models that place greater emphasis on issues such as equity and ethics.
