Description

The PDW addresses the imperatives & challenges that CS brings which go well beyond those of the conventional business models of shareholder and stakeholder capitalism. These include engagement with full societal and planetary responsibility, the integration of market approaches, and a more collaborative relationship with regulators, public and private. The imperatives and challenges are addressed in respect of four key questions: how does CS relate to corporate social responsibility?; how does CS relate to government policy?; how does CS relate to international development?; what are the leadership and governance challenges of sustainability transitions? The Panel Discussion brings in questions arising in neighboring fields and from the global South. PDW participants frame the concluding discussion with their questions about the teaching and research issues and skills raised by CS. It is suggested that participants familiarize themselves with the opening chapter of the text, ‘Corporate Sustainability – what is it and why it matters’: https://www.cambridge.org/highereducation/books/corporatesustainability/1D6311AD91139D896E6A119FEB82DB7C/resources/instructor-resources/1922634DC8EBFE635EBF38EA27E51498 (go to ‘General Resources’)
