Connecting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with Corporate Governance (CG) is a 21st Century challenge.

In this book we capture and explore different aspects of value in corporate social responsibility (CSR). The book contrasts corporate strategic value with co-operative value, and community value in the context of sustainable development.

This book illustrates how CSR can be used as a tool to improve corporate governance in organizations and improve the relationship between business and society.

This book explores the interaction between sustainability, corporate responsibility, consumers, and the market. It aims to discover if consumers are seeking out small, ethical, socially responsible firms to buy from rather than large corporations; if markets and organisations are supported by a new sensitivity to social responsibility and sustainability ideas; if the integration of corporate responsibility strategies and practices change how market sectors are assembled. Bringing together international case studies ¿ including research on the Italian wine industry, German butchers, Spanish football, Polish marketing and the Portuguese financial sector ¿ this book is valuable reading for scholars working on corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and good governance.Chapter 12 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
