Unternehmen können zu einer positiven gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung beitragen, wenn sie betroffene Akteure, wie etwa die lokale Bevölkerung, in ihre Planungen und Entscheidungsfindung einbinden. Dies trifft insbesondere auf Unternehmen des Rohstoffsektors zu, deren Tätigkeit weitreichende gesellschaftliche, wirtschaftliche und ökologische Auswirkungen mit sich bringt. Die OECD hat einen Leitfaden für die Erfüllung der Sorgfaltspflicht zur konstruktiven Stakeholderbeteiligung im Rohstoffsektor erstellt, um Unternehmen im Bergbau-, Öl- und Gassektor praktische Unterstützung im Umgang mit Herausforderungen bei der Akteursbeteiligung zu bieten. Der vorliegende Leitfaden ist Teil der Bemühungen der OECD, die praktische sektorspezifische Anwendung der Empfehlungen aus den OECD-Leitsätzen für multinationale Unternehmen zu fördern.

"Engaging with Stakeholders: A Relational Perspective on Responsible Business contends that meaningful and constructive stakeholder engagement efforts should be rooted in a deep relational process of shared understanding, expectations, and viewpoints, through honest, continued dialogue between stakeholders and company management. This anthology follows and reaffirms this view, which also establishes the increasing need to explore the subtleties of how companies can respectfully engage their stakeholders in ways that reflect the corporate strategy and contribute to the ongoing development of business activities and creation of value, for themselves and stakeholders, from social, environmental, and economic perspectives. Stakeholder engagement practices, however, remain highly complex and difficult to manage; their ability to generate value in an inclusive way requires critical consideration. Sound stakeholder engagement efforts also constitute a keystone for responsible business activities. Drawing on a wide range of literature and studies, this book addresses key dimensions of stakeholder engagement, through a responsible business lens, and thereby contributes to identifying the opportunities, challenges, and key organizational implications associated with their unfolding. The four main topics covered are: " Delineating the nature and multiple raisons d'être of stakeholder engagement " Dialogical and communicational foundations of stakeholder engagement " Engaging with diverse stakeholders throughout the value chain " Reaping organizational returns and relational rewards of stakeholder engagement efforts"--

"Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been developed into a crucial corporate and organizational issue around the world. It has been incorporated within various sectors, countries and includes many types of activities and dimensions. It is common ground that organizations are more inclined today to broader their performance focus form short-term oriented goals towards a long-term social, environmental and value-added perspectives. Under the framework of corporate governance, organizations and companies are motivated to promote fairness, transparency, ethics and accountability in their transactions, while concurrently maintaining enhanced standards of governance. This means that organizations and corporations must align their activities with community aspirations which is an issue falling within the sphere of CSR. Increased attention has been exerted on the organizations regarding their approach towards the needs of various stakeholders. However, a crucial issue that this book attempts to address is the association, intersection and the inter-relationship between governance and CSR within the EU region, not adequately established in the existing literature. The book will show that governance and CSR are highly connected. With the purpose to study the association of CSR with legal, managerial and empirical aspects of governance in corporations and not-for-profit organizations, through various sectors of the economy, the book also intends to provide useful policy implications as well as to offer constructive directions for future research. It will be of value to researchers, academics, practitioners, policymakers, and students in the fields of corporate social responsibility and governance, organizational theory, marketing management, business ethics and human resource management"--

"In the last two decades, the quest for a widely accepted definition of social enterprise has been a central issue in a great number of publications. The main objective of the ICSEM Project on which this book is based was to show that the social enterprise field would benefit much more from linking conceptualisation efforts to the huge diversity of social enterprises than from an additional and ambitious attempt at providing an encompassing definition. Starting from a hypothesis that could be termed "the impossibility of a unified definition", the ICSEM research strategy relied on bottom-up approaches to capture the social enterprise phenomenon in its local and national contexts. This strategy made it possible to take into account and give legitimacy to locally embedded approaches, while simultaneously allowing for the identification of major social enterprise models to delineate the field on common grounds at the international level. Social Enterprise in Western Europe -the third volume in a series of four ICSEM-based books on social enterprise worldwide - will serve as a key reference and resource for teachers, researchers, students, experts, policy makers, journalists and others who want to acquire a broad understanding of the social enterprise and social entrepreneurship phenomena as they emerge and develop in this region"--
