Corporate Citizenship

Více o knize

Corporate Citizenship, or entrepreneurial civic engagement, is increasingly discussed both domestically and internationally, presenting challenges for strategic corporate management to actively address societal issues in collaboration with external partners. Companies benefit from cross-sector networks but require specific competencies for their establishment and maintenance. The applications for the corporate award from the "Freedom and Responsibility" initiative underpin this collection, showcasing a comprehensive array of "best practices" from German companies, alongside an overview of current documents and initiatives on both national and international levels, establishing it as a standard reference on a growing topic. The content covers various aspects, including the role of civil society, globalization, and the dynamics of corporate citizenship. It explores the potential benefits for companies, practical projects of different sizes, and the societal conditions necessary for successful engagement. Additionally, it addresses the regulatory frameworks at local, national, and European levels, emphasizing the importance of corporate engagement in global governance and the challenges of the 21st century. The work also highlights future perspectives for research and education in corporate citizenship, detailing initiatives and interdisciplinary collaborations aimed at enhancing understanding and practice in this vital area.
