The Companies Act 71 of 2008 (the Companies Act) was promulgated in April 2009 and came into effect on 1 April. The purpose of this Act is, among other things, to promote compliance with the Bill of Rights as provided for in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (the Constitution), in the application of company law. This gives recognition to the constitutional imperative to bring company law within the South African constitutional law framework. This article argues that by including the promotion of compliance with the Bill of Rights as provided for in the Constitution in the application of company law, the Companies Act effectively reinforces a duty for companies to ensure that they should always seek to prevent violations of human rights, particularly those human rights that are directly linked to their operations. This article looks at certain provisions in the Companies Act and argues that the inclusion of these provisions if interpreted in a certain manner will reconcile the values and practices of company law with the related human rights concerns. It argues that the inclusion of the Bill of Rights in the application of company law ensures that human rights concerns are also considered within the functioning of the company. The article then looks at the various provisions in the Act which have the potential to ensure that this position is achieved in the application of company law.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to strategies corporations or firms conduct their business in a way that is ethical, society friendly and beneficial to community in terms of development. CSR is supported by works of other scholars in the area that could be used to suggest that CSR becomes an international concern due to globalized nature of business that knows no border. CSR is evolving in its meaning and practice. The article then discusses the role of CSR in community development because the very logic of CSR is towards seeing its impact in community socially, environmentally and economically. Competencies required by CSR managers are also analyzed in order to have a better understanding of the practical aspects of CSR. Finally, conclusions and implications for future research are discussed.
企业社会责任(Corporate social responsibility, CSR)是指企业以合乎道德、对社会友好、对社区有益的方式开展业务的策略。该领域其他学者的研究也支持企业社会责任，这些研究表明，由于企业无国界的全球化性质，企业社会责任已成为一个国际性的问题。企业社会责任的意义和实践都在不断发展。文章随后讨论了企业社会责任在社区发展中的作用，因为企业社会责任的逻辑就是要看到它对社区的社会、环境和经济影响。企业社会责任管理者所需要的能力也进行了分析，以便更好地了解企业社会责任的实际方面。最后，讨论了研究结论及对未来研究的启示。

This article aims to study the relationship between social responsibility of business and sustainable development of enterprise structures in the current economic conditions. In the course of the research, the authors determined that sustainable development of enterprise structures is determined by many influencing factors, localized both in the external and internal environment of an enterprise structure; sustainable development of enterprise structures cannot be achieved without the growth of business social responsibility. Social responsibility of business is integration of social and environmental problems, solved by enterprise structures in interaction with stakeholders; enterprise structures and stakeholders mutually influence each other, but this influence is not identical in strength. Sustainable development of enterprise structures depends to greater extent on influence of owners (owners of capital), competitors, public authorities; in the medium term, as the world's evolutionary problems accumulate, requirements for social responsibility of business will continue to grow. Requirements for energy efficiency management of various economic activities will play a significant role in this tendency.

The Certified Forensic Investigation Professional (CFIP) and Fraud Examiners certification are now the gold standard in fraud detection and prevention. CFIPs, CPFAs/CFEs are known the world over as fraud-fighting experts. The CFIP, CPFA and ACFE have built respected organizations that are at the forefront of forensic investigation, fraud research and education. Robust fraud prevention programs must use CFIPs, CPFAs/CFEs as staff members or consultants. CFIPs, CPFAs/CFEs can also assist the audit committee, internal auditors, and independent auditors in their oversight capacities. CFIPs, CPFAs/CFEs in fraud prevention programs can be deterrents to potential fraud perpetrators.

We examine whether corporate corruption scrutiny affects corporate investment in China. A corruption news index (CNI) containing firm-specific measures of corruption scrutiny is developed by tracking all articles in the press about corruption for all firms trading on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges between 2000 and 2011. This index is included in a traditional model of investment. We find that a standard deviation increase in CNI leads to an initial 6 percent decline in investment, a 9 percent decline the following year, but no effects after two years. Thus, anticorruption campaigns appear to carry temporary costs for corporate investment.

On the web, in the media, amongst the academia everywhere CSR is either wrongly defined or incompletely represented or misnamed. From selfless owner’s personal charity to corporate marketing strategy all are claimed as CSR. In this state of ambiguity, in guise of CSR, corporations may be harming the society in most irresponsible way. This paper made a humble effort to propose working definitions of CSR issues to clear the ambiguities. Because of the failure of various sophisticated approaches of analysis to get consensus an all new approach of semantics is taken in this paper to trigger more debates to crystallize all nuances of CSR.

Purpose – This study has two main objectives: (a) to examine the financial aspects of high versus low ranked firms in the Corporate Responsibility Index in Egypt, and (b) to construct a Z score model to discriminate between high and low ranked firms in the Corporate Responsibility Index.Design/Method/Approach – This study empirically examines a comprehensive list of financial ratios for 24 firms listed in EGX301 for four fiscal years, 2007-2010. The authors calculate 90 financial ratios to provide better insights and evaluation of the firms’ financial performance. The ordinary least square (OLS) regression method and discriminant analysis are utilized to explain differences between the low and high ranked firms regarding their corporate social governance index.Findings – The results show that corporate governance and corporate social responsibility are positively related to the firms’ financial performance in terms of sales turnover and customer loyalty. This suggests that in the long run, the market mechanism should be able to provide additional resources to those companies that are better at maximizing a widely defined bottom line of their social governance. The results also show that highly ranked firms are characterized financially by: (a) strong bargaining power with suppliers, (b) financing growth in fixed assets using debt mainly.Originality/Value – The study contributes to the literature in terms of providing practical insights on the financial strategies that help support effective corporate governance and corporate social responsibility in Egypt. In addition, this study offers a unique quantitative attempt to measure and examine the benefits of incorporation of socioeconomics into business practices.

EIA as an environment management tool has been successful in terms of global awareness rising over the last four decades. Due to its rationalist approach it has been criticized about the inherent aim of influencing development decision and protecting the environment. Numerous researches have been performed to measure the 'effectiveness of EIA' which is still evolving as a domain. Four major criteria’s have been established till date. Effectiveness of Bangladesh EIA system has been explored with the help of those criteria’s. Procedural ineffectiveness seeks government measure in a couple areas mainly through institutional arrangement and capacity building. Substantive ineffectiveness reflects the global trend of failure to influence the development decision truly. Transactive effectiveness will be far reaching for a country like Bangladesh, depended on foreign aid largely. Normative effectiveness is still little known, but mass awareness about the environment through the debate regarding an ES report is a recent experience.

In the light of global warming and environmental concerns across the globe, environmental accounting and reporting has now become an emerging reality and necessity of the corporate world. Considering the same, the present paper is based on an exploratory study carried out to have an understanding of the nature and extent of environmental reporting practices followed by the market leaders (MLs). An attempt has been made to analyse the annual reports of the selected companies in order to examine their environmental disclosure practices with reference to the type of the disclosure, section where such disclosure is made and the extent of mandatory and voluntary disclosures made. An index of environmental disclosure, listing 23 items of information, was constructed after surveying the literature to find out the nature of disclosure practices in these companies. This index was further sub-divided into three groups to find out the thrust of environmental disclosures by the sample companies. It was found that majority of the MLs reported the mandatory environmental information in the ‘Director's Report’, whereas the voluntary information was disclosed either in the ‘Highlights’ or in the ‘Dedicated Section’ of the annual report, followed by the ‘Management Discussion Analysis’ and the ‘Corporate Governance Report’ sections. A growing trend of reporting environmental information voluntarily was observed. Almost all the MLs have had environmental management systems in place by 2013. All except one ML prepared the business responsibility report, as mandated by the Securities Exchange Board of India. Further, neither the firm nor the governance characteristics had any significant impact on the environmental performance of the MLs. Hence, it was concluded that steps taken by the MLs towards environmental conservation was independent of board independence, size, leverage or profitability and that MLs were committed to the cause of environmental sustainability.

There has been huge debate over labour market regulations and working conditions of labours in India which is highly polarized. Experts of labour market deregulation suggest that the labour law framework in the country has inconsistent powers on workers and trade unions in the formal sector of the economy, which has resulted in industrial conflicts and poor productivity. Our study was aimed to study the labour working conditions in Noida cluster that were functioning in apparel Industry. The objectives for our study was to understand the working conditions of the apparel industry workers and develop an understanding for various labour laws pertaining to workers and find out the differences in style of working of Tier II and Tier III companies. Our findings suggested that there was a considerable difference in working style of Tier II and Tier III companies. Tier II companies provided better working conditions to its regular labours whereas in Tier III category very few companies provided the same.
