The first SPPA Speaker Series event will take place next week. Come here Jane Lister, Post-doctoral Fellow, UBC, speak on her recent book, in a talk titled:

Co-Regulating Corporate Social Responsibility: The Possibilities and Limits of Voluntary Business Sustainability.

Abstract: Companies are increasingly turning to voluntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs such as eco-certification to govern operations, mitigate business risks, and sustain financial performance. This offers prospects for governments to leverage CSR as a new policy instrument. Yet, there are also limits. Understanding these, as Jane’s talk will show, is increasingly critical to effective environmental management.
