There can be no doubt that great expectations are now being placed on all organizations to take responsibility for the impact of their decisions and activities. Transparency is called for, ethical behaviour is required as a minimum, and the consequences for failing to meet the demands of stakeholders are severe. But where do you start ISO 26000 takes the pioneering step of setting out an internationally agreed set of principles and guidelines for the social responsibility of all organizations, whether they be multi-national companies, small businesses, charities, or governments. It is set to become the standard used by organizations around the globe as the foundation of their social responsibility practices. With a Foreword from Kevin McKinley, Deputy Secretary-General of ISO and a Preface from Jorge Cajazeira, the Chair of the Working Group that developed the standard, this book provides the background and some deeper insight into the interpretation and implications of ISO 26000, as well as into how it might be used. Aimed at both specialists and non-experts alike, this definitive guide should be the first point of reference for all those working on responsibility issues within companies and other organizations as well as those working in the field of standardization and in academia.

The Sustainable Procurement Guide Procuring Sustainably Using BS 8903
Free Download Cathy Berry, "The Sustainable Procurement Guide: Procuring Sustainably Using BS 8903"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 0580698610 | PDF | pages: 216 | 1.6 mb
This book, and the accompanying guidance, BS 8903, is all about trying to translate between procurement and sustainability language to make unfamiliar concepts and terms work in a way we can understand. This is quite a task. Procurement professionals tend to use quite precise language, with objective tender evaluations, precise contract clauses and regimented performance and risk management programmes. Sustainability is contextual and will vary between organizations as they take a different view of how their business interacts with the society and environment around them. For example, the world faces the universal problem of climate change. According to most scientists the world is warming at a rate that will ultimately limit the ability of the human race to survive on earth. This is coupled with an exponential rise in the population and industrialization of countries with massive populations such as India, China and Brazil, leading to more emissions and a strain on finite natural resources. There is also a constant dilemma of global or local sourcing; procurement people have spent decades chasing the money in a global search for cheaper labour and materials. On the other hand, organizations with a high level of interaction with their local community such as local authorities or businesses with a local impact such as developers or operators of public infrastructure have a desire to see more business done with the communities in which they operate. For the procurement professional it feels like they are being asked to solve world peace and hunger with no help or guidance about how to do it.

English | ISBN: 1474241689 | 2015 | 192 pages | PDF | 19 MB
Philip tackles the major problems posed by military radicalism in Peru between 1968 and 1976. He discusses the ideology of the military, the commitment of the officer corps to reform, the degree of reformism, and the limits of popular participation, and attempts to answer why it was possible for a radical military government to arise in Peru. The answers contribute not only to an understanding of modern Peru but also to the general study of the military in politics.

The Politics and Pedagogy of Mourning On Responsibility in Eulogy

Jacques Derrida famously stated in Specters of Marx that a justice worthy of the name must call us to render justice not only to the living but also to the dead. In The Politics and Pedagogy of Mourning, Timothy Secret argues that offering a persuasive account of such a duty requires establishing a discussion among the 20th century's three key thinkers on death - Heidegger, Levinas and Freud. Despite arguing that none of these three figures' discourses offers us a complete account of our duty to the dead and that it remains impossible to unify them into a single, consistent and correct approach, Secret nevertheless offers an account of how Derrida managed to produce an always singular articulation of these discourses in each of the acts of eulogy he offered for his philosophical contemporaries.
