1. Social responsibility

   New York : United Nations, 2001.

   Corporate social responsibility is a well-known concept in national law. However, new issues of corporate social responsibility have emerged. Responsibility to employees and wider issues, such as the need to minimize pollution, to protect consumer interests and to observe fundamental ethical and human rights standards, have also inspired new regulatory initiatives. This paper aims to examine how far issues of corporate social responsibility have found their way into the provisions of international investment agreements (IIAs).--Publisher's description.

2. Social responsibility : methods, dilemmas and hopes

   Sharjah, U.A.E. : Bentham Science Publishers, [2014]

   Current global economic crises call for social responsibility to replace neo-liberalistic, one-sided and short-term criteria causing monopolies of global enterprises. Humanity's existence is endangered under the threat of global capitalism, unless the positive concept 'everyone's social responsibility impacts everyone in society' becomes the basis of the new socio-economic order. This concept must be realized together with related concepts of 'interdependence' and 'holism, ' embodying the principles of accountability, transparency, ethical behavior, and respect for stakeholders--to support the.

3. Social responsibility : sustainability, education and management

   Sharjah, U.A.E. : Bentham Science Publishers, [2014]

   Reality depends crucially on human care for a safe natural environment, and on education and management of humans. If humans consider social responsibility as their own responsibility it would help them to survive. Economic growth has become a universal goal during recent decades, but this growth has been hampered due to the resource limitations. The Neo-liberalism is therefore not considered a viable economic model as it lacks social responsibility. Thus, it helps monopolies to dominate the world under the label of the free market. ISO 26000 on Social Responsibility (ISO, 2010) elaborates an innovative alternative. European Union (2011) recommends its member states and big companies to support social responsibility as a way out from the current crisis; it defines social responsibility as one's responsibility for one's impacts on society, i.e. on humans and nature. It is also found complementary with sustainable development. This book offers an approach for implementation of ISO 26000, based on its two linking concepts: interdependence and holism. They originate from systems theory and cybernetics, which can unite the sciences with all other branches of knowledge and related behavior, while the traditional division of the sciences and humanities tends to separate them. Specialization can lead to important in-depth insights and also cause important failures, as evidenced by the 2008 economic crisis, the two World Wars, continuing warfare, and other major socio-environmental crises. Neo-liberalism differs from socially responsible liberalism, which includes the following attributes: individual human freedom; tolerance; shared power; maximum well-being for the majority; freedom of economic activity; entrepreneurship; a class-free society of free and equal individuals; a middle-class society with no essential differences in property level; security from the self-will of government, including the state; power in synergy with responsibility; science, education, art; and civil society (Prunk, 2010).--
