Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
Although every country is distinguished by its history, culture and language as well
as its unique economic, environmental and social conditions, it can be expected that
international operating companies will exhibit common patterns since sustainability
challenges do not stop at national borders. Building on original data based on results
of the International Corporate Sustainability Barometer survey, this book depicts
and analyzes the current state of corporate sustainability management and corporate
social responsibility. Part I describes the approach and summarizes the broad results,
outlining the methodology and offering an overview of results of the ICSB survey.
Part II presents specific findings for each of eleven countries surveyed: Australia,
Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom
and the USA. Part III provides a comparative analysis and highlights broad patterns
in the international results.^ ; Most strikingly, the book reveals surprisingly widespread
similarities among the sustainability management practices of large companies in economically
developed countries all over the world. All the survey results are analyzed according
to the same Triple-I approach: IntentionWhy do companies manage sustainability?;tegration
- To what extent do companies embed sustainability in their core business and in their
organization?; and Implementation - How is corporate sustainability operationalized?
Based on this structure the analysis serves not only to make comparisons and to investigate
national characteristics; it also builds a foundation for examining whether there
truly is a world-spanning common state of the art of corporate sustainability.^ ;
Distinguished authors who were involved in the International Corporate Sustainability
Barometer project offer their insights, identifying and discussing national and international
patterns that can provide the basis for further ideas and inspiration to practitioners
and researchers worldwide who are engaged in corporate sustainability
