Global experts from a wide range of disciplines develop a flexible, diverse, and reconstructed form of CSR and illustrate how it can help build an inclusive and sustainable future. Using key CSR frameworks, this Companion critically examines the connections between CSR, sustainable development and the SDGs. Chapters focus on six key themes: stakeholders' partnership and public awareness, ecosystem innovation, sustainable education, social protection, sustainable corporate practices, and national SDG action. Through exploring the experiences of diverse responsible businesses and nations, contributors present important strategies for achieving the socio-economic change necessary to address the sustainability crisis. Following the UN's 'Our Common Agenda' report, the Companion provides a roadmap for adapting to the threats posed by unsustainable practices. The Elgar Companion to Corporate Social Responsibility and the Sustainable Development Goals will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of CSR, the SDGs, international business, development studies, and social entrepreneurship. It will also be essential reading for government officials and professionals seeking to advocate, promote, and contribute to achieving the SDGs"--
