520 "Corporate social responsibility codes are guidelines that
companies voluntarily develop and publish with the
objective to show the public their commitment to respect
human rights, to improve fundamental workplace standards
worldwide and to not pollute the natural environment.
These corporate codes have become a crucial element in the
regulatory architecture for globally operating companies.
By focusing on the characteristics of the codes, their
effects on society, and their legal consequences, this
book seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of
corporate codes and the law. Enforcing Corporate Social
Responsibility Codes develops proposals on the relation
between global corporate self-regulation and the national
private law systems. It uses methods of comparative law
and sociological jurisprudence to argue that national
private law can, and in fact should, enforce these codes
as genuine legal obligations. The author formulates legal
policy recommendations for English and German private law
which indicate how the proposed legal enforcement could be
practically realised."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
