Beschreibung

The crucial aspect of forest governance lies in the effective implementation of laws, policies, and standards to safeguard nature, community rights, drive economic growth, and achieve sustainability. Is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) more of a solution or a challenge? This book showcases a case study that provides empirical evidence of how CSR was used by the company to enter the commercial forestry industry in Liberia, resulting in conflicts, violations of community rights, policies, and laws. In the Liberia forestry industry, CSR is commonly known as a Social Agreement. In addition, the book exposes how the company prioritized profit and shareholder value at the expense of ecological integrity, social factors, and business sustainability.
