Chapter Chapter 7 in Theory and Practice of Corporate Social Responsibility, 2011, pp 107-121 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The globalisation of production and services by international corporations has heightened awareness of the potential for trans-national environmental harm that activities of such companies may create. Alternatively a responsible international corporation may also help to raise the environmental standards in developing countries, by acting as the main repository of modern, environmentally sensitive, technology, and as the most advanced experts in environmentally sound management practices. This chapter aims to highlight some of the legal and operational issues with regard to the environment, which multinational corporations will need to consider during their operational management.
