Drawing on Lifeworth's annual Corporate Responsibility (CR) reviews, this book investigates the key events, issues and trends in corporate responsibility from the onset of the financial crisis. It considers what the impact of the corporate responsibility movement has been and presents a vision and practice of a new form of capitalism.

The global response from business to social and environmental issues during the past decade has created a corporate responsibility movement. But what has been the impact of this movement? The financial crisis that began in 2007 has led more and more people to question the fundamentals of our economic system. Now, some within the corporate responsibility movement are developing a vision and practice of a new form of capitalism, one that will require collective action to achieve.

Bendell and Doyle draw on Lifeworth's annual reviews of corporate responsibility and propose a wellness framework whereby business is a conduit for enhancing life and the systems that support it. They explain how business leaders, stakeholders and related academe now need to experiment with new models that address the fundamental flaws of contemporary capitalism, including monetary systems, enterprise
ownership, and regulation.

This book will be a fantastic resource for business libraries, as it records and analyzes key events, issues and trends in corporate responsibility during the first decade of the 21st century. It is a sequel and companion to Bendell's previous work, The Corporate Responsibility Movement (Greenleaf Publishing, 2009).
