Description

Business doing good is doing good business; this book learns from the era where governments ruled the world, pre-globalisation, and where business looked after itself, where issues like climate change, resource depletion or even poverty and hunger were not regarded as the responsibility of business.

The Company Citizen concludes that not only are these key issues for business as of late but that the world will be unable to manage these issues without the active participation – even leadership – of business. Acutely aware of the shortcomings of both government and civil society the writer argues that environmental sustainability, economic and social inclusion and the better management of resources are all key issues for business and that it makes good business sense to manage them better. This book examines the case for the company citizen on a global, national and community level working alongside other. Never has the conscientious company citizen, as envisaged by 19th century Quaker philanthropists, been more needed; and never has that business case, one that justifies a long-term commitment to practical corporate behaviour for good, been more clear.

Drawing attention both to the businesses which are taking the lead and those who find themselves holding us back, the writer concludes that only by involving business are we able to tackle the great issues of the day – and continue to exist, as communities, nation and planet.
