MONTREAL, CANADA. - 14 April 2009 - Natural Advantage is proud to announce the release of the new book Corporate Social Responsibility - A Legal Analysis (LexisNexis, 2009) authored by Michael Kerr, Richard Janda and Chip Pitts (co-author and editor). The book 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. This legal analysis is particularly relevant at this time of continuing economic crisis when world leaders, including those at the G-20, are seeking regulatory solutions to promote greater corporate responsibility within a more sustainable, global economic system.
The book answers four essential questions:
- What is CSR?
- What is driving it?
- What are the legal dimensions of CSR?
- What are its likely future legal developments?
For further information and to order copies, visit LexisNexis Canada.
