Full Description
This book offers a new, nuanced, and comprehensive look at how CSR is practiced and disclosed in terms of corporate transparency, sustainability, and accountability, from the perspective of developing and emerging economies. Given the importance and power of emerging economies in shaping global gross domestic product (GDP), entrepreneurship, and corporate investment, it is crucial to examine this phenomenon in terms of corporate sustainability and achieving the ideals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for a more sustainable future. The book therefore addresses contextual institutional, regulatory, and governance issues in these regions to contribute to the debate as well as a rethinking of the motivation for CSR practice and reporting. The book will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and students.
