Employing an interdisciplinary lens, this book examines the practices, legal frameworks, and regulatory challenges of corporate responsibility and accountability in emerging sectors, drawing on national, regional, and international case studies.
In the current climate, business activities are debated and scrutinised worldwide due to their social, environmental, and human rights impacts. Concomitantly, corporations have been active agents of progress in the investment, creation, and dissemination of new technologies; fields in which the regulation of responsible business conduct is still developing. Aligning with current challenges of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the book is divided into five parts and looks at AI and data, investment, production and consumption, energy, and climate change. It offers a compelling analysis of the convergences and divergences in business practices across diverse legal and regulatory frameworks. By examining the gap between law, regulation, and rapid advancements in emerging sectors and technologies, it provides actionable insights for corporate strategy, legal reform, and policy development, ensuring timeliness and practical relevance.
The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of business and corporate law, corporate responsibility, and accountability.
