Ligteringen, ErnstZadek, Simon2019-09-252019-09-252015-01-29http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/217626"Sustainable development can only become a reality if corporate responsibility becomes a mainstream concern for individual companies and the business community as a whole. An array of codes, standards, guidelines and frameworks are available to guide companies in integrating corporate responsibility into their business strategies and management processes. Their purpose is to drive the performance of companies in line with the goals of sustainable development. Executives no longer wonder whether to use such tools; they wonder about which ones to use, and in what combination. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and AccountAbility have prepared this Briefing to help companies answer these questions in order to better understand the relationship between the diverse tools, and to offer a perspective on how they might evolve and converge in the future."engWith permission of the license/copyright holdercode of ethicscode of conductcorporate responsibility codesGlobal Reporting Initiativesustainable developmentbusines strategiesmanagementEconomic ethicsBusiness ethicsCultural ethicsPreprint
