Description:
Transnational Enterprises (TNEs) are an important source of direct and indirect employment creation in the global economy. Largely in response to external pressures by NGOs and consumers, there has been a growing number of Guidelines and Codes for Corporate Social Responsibility being adopted by such companies. Now, TNEs are beginning to understand that corporate social and environmental responsibility can also increase their profits and sustainability. This paper focuses on recent innovations which can contribute to a key element in seeking constructive ways forward towards this 'win-win' business case: the building of a participatory ethical learning process which can increase trust, transparency and mutual accountability.
