Description

The book discusses the evolving nature of corporate social responsibility in times of geopolitical uncertainty. This uncertainty is prompted by geopolitical risks faced by modern companies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, as well as social and economic consequences of wars in Ukraine and elsewhere. Such geopolitical risks undeniably raise questions as to what the new “ethical” norm of corporate conduct should be.

This book strives to evaluate the effectiveness of European legal approach regarding the conduct of commercial companies in the times of geopolitical uncertainty. Amongst jurisdictions considered in the book, a particular attention is paid to France. It is one of the leading European countries when it comes to the regulation of corporate conduct vis-à-vis the interests of a large group of stakeholders. As a case study to assess the effectiveness of European legal approach, the book looks at the geopolitical risks provoked by the war in Ukraine.

This unique and timely study fills a void in this important area of research by exploring key arguments related to what corporate conduct is, or should be considered as “ethical” in times of geopolitical uncertainty.

Reviews

"Commercial companies increasingly face diverse expectations: generating profits for their shareholders in the economy ridden with inflation and promoting social well-being in a society ravaged by geopolitical risks. Mariia Domina examines the role of corporate social responsibility in reconciling these two objectives of a modern corporation. The book is unique in its kind due to a strong focus on the war in Ukraine, a main geopolitical risk in 2024, as a litmus test for assessing the role of commercial companies in promoting a greater good throughout the European continent. This is a must-read for those interested in the latest trends in the area of corporate social responsibility both in the EU and on the level of individual Member States (France and Luxembourg)."
