- About
As companies around the world are shifting from philanthropy and standalone corporate social responsibility initiatives toward more systemic, impact-driven engagements, public-private partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a transformative model. With the continued development gaps accentuated by the climate crisis, Covid-19 induced disparities and shrinking public budgets, there is an increasing need to accelerate momentum for the SDGs.
Corporate Responsibility and Public-Private Collaborations: Partnerships for the Sustainable Development Goals argues that corporate responsibility in the 21st century cannot be forced but must instead be a collective pursuit shared by public-private partnerships that are collaborative, value-creating and impact-driven. In this regard, the role of the private sector has also progressed from being just a funder to a co-creator of solutions for development. However, with the growing popularity of PPPs, there is a lack of scholarship that critically engages with their design, implementation and long-term impacts.
This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, business leaders, development practitioners and students who are interested in research and practice that supports sustainable development across multi-stakeholder collaborations.
Corporate Sustainability and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Global Challenges and Opportunities aims to examine the broad agenda of the SDGs which requires the participation of multiple disciplines and sectors to be delivered.
