Condition: Good. 2014 Bloomberg BNA / Bureau of National Affairs (Arlington, Virginia), 8 3/4 x 11 inches tall wire spiral bound paperback in tan covers, mixed pagination. Partly removed call number label to front cover - the only evidence that this portfolio was a former corporate or law library copy. Title page and a couple of other pages very slightly creased. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - of this useful legal practice guide. Bloomberg BNA Corporate Practice Series Portfolio No. 93. ~RRR~ Focuses primarily on the social impacts of business activities, beginning with an overview of specific roles and responsibilities of the board of directors in overseeing a company's approach to corporate social responsibility. The portfolio provides practical advice concerning emerging new business forms that represent a 'hybrid' between traditional for-profit corporate enterprises and nonprofit business entities established to pursue a public benefit. There is also discussion of the key liability concerns for companies and key international standards and benchmarks against which corporate activities are frequently evaluated by key stakeholders. Finally, the portfolio provides guidance on new and emerging disclosure and transparency requirements that require companies to provide public information regarding the social and environmental impacts of their activities. The portfolio also contains Practice Tools, including a corporate social responsibility roadmap and list of publicly available tools.
