Corporate Citizenship: Successful Strategies for Responsible Companies

Customer Reviews

I believe that the book has achieved this, outlining the main issues of social accountability, documenting numerous real-life examples of companies demonstrating these principles in action, and using these to show how companies have now adopted a more socially responsible way of doing business . . . profitably! In addition, there is a glossary of terms used at the end to help understand the jargon used, as well as a list of contact addresses of organizations mentioned throughout the book.

This is very much a book targeted at managers of corporations, but can be equally relevant for tomorrow's leaders wanting to learn from past mistakes, therefore was an interesting read. I enjoyed reading it and find the principles stated relevant not only to organizations, but to individuals too. My main criticism was that there was a great emphasis on the role of the organization throughout the book, and little was said about the individual until the end. Although I realize that this was the focus of the book (being called "Corporate Citizenship"!!), I think that I might have found it more personally relevant if it also incorporated the role of every stakeholder in society. We all have our part to play, which was occasionally overlooked in this book.
