A triple bottom line to ensure corporate responsibility

Abstract

As a part of environmental economic theory, Corporate Responsibility (CR) deals with business perspectives of sustainable development. It refers to holding business actors accountable for their intents and actions, setting objectives and taking actions above and beyond that of following the law and maximizing the interest on the investment for the stockholders. This over view offers a brief presentation of a framework for CR. It builds on the notion of corporate governance according to the so called “the triple bottom line”, where sustainable corporate conduct is managed with economic, environmental and social values in mind, in order to address various stakeholder needs from a holistic perspective.
