Law Professor Richard Janda publishes book on Corporate Social Responsibility

Published: 30 April 2009

Hydro-Québec Scholar and ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ professor of law recently published Corporate Social Responsibility – A Legal Analysis with co-authors Michael Kerr and Chip Pitts.

Corporations now face greater scrutiny regarding their environmental, social, and economic activities. Accounting firms and consultancies use increasingly sophisticated tools to verify corporate undertakings. Socially responsible investment funds screen corporate performance, and failure to perform even affects share price. By ignoring the legal context, or viewing CSR measures as merely voluntary, a corporation can expose itself to clear financial and legal liability.

Corporate Social Responsibility – A Legal Analysis is the first comprehensive legal text on global CSR. It examines the hard and soft laws that ground CSR to show that responsible corporate behaviour has become a matter of important legal concern for virtually every corporation.
