From Corporate Social Responsibility to Corporate Social Liability

A Socio-Legal Study of Corporate Liability in Global Value Chains

Anna Aseeva, Lazarski University, Poland This book brings together the latest scholarly advances on corporate social responsibility, and, at the same time, addresses the pressing issue of corporate liability for harmful acts across the supply and production chains. It posits that corporate social liability is a set of legal duties and responsibilities of a corporation for harm-causing incidents, including the negative environmental, social and economic consequences of a company’s activities across its entire value chain. This is the first systematic attempt to critically assess the premises, dynamics, current state of play and likely future development of the concept and application of corporate social liability.
