About the product

Corporate social responsibility is a well-known concept in national law. However, new issues of corporate social responsibility have emerged. Responsibility to employees and wider issues, such as the need to minimize pollution, to protect consumer interests and to observe fundamental ethical and human rights standards, have also inspired new regulatory initiatives. This paper aims to examine how far issues of corporate social responsibility have found their way into the provisions of international investment agreements (IIAs).
