One of the most vexing human rights issues of our time has been how to protect the rights of individuals and communities worldwide in an age of globalization and multinational business. Indeed, from Indonesian sweatshops to oil-based violence in Nigeria, the challenges of regulating harmful corporate practices in some of the world’s most difficult regions long seemed insurmountable. Human rights groups and businesses were locked in a stalemate, unable to find common ground. In 2005, the United Nations appointed John Gerard Ruggie to the modest task of clarifying the main issues.

What is sustainability? Is it always about the environment? What science do we need to fully grasp what it requires? What does sustainability mean for business?

Story
For the past 50 years, the business world has been dominated by the Milton Friedman financial capitalism economic model, which preaches that it is the "sole social responsibility of business to maximize profit for distribution to shareholders". This one-dimensional focus represents a grossly incomplete view of reality - there are many other factors businesses need to pay attention to if they are to thrive and endure.
Summary
The prevalence of corporate unsustainability is because businesses and companies practices guided by the "Almighty CSR" are not able to deal with corporate responsibilities (CR) performance issues.
Corporate unsustainability contributed to global sustainability problems such as devastation to lives and properties caused by high frequencies of natural disasters occurrences, public health emergencies, food shortages and famine, refuges crises, banking and corporations' operational failures. These problems are a manifestation of greenhouse gases effects, environmental damages, and human and economic development inequalities outputs from business enterprises value chains in reality. We have no Planet B, and these problems are already threatening the existence of planet Earth we all share.
This audiobook offers the ladders of corporate responsibilities and sustainability (CRS) taxonomy as the business-society relationships transformative pathway from brown (pollution) economy to a green economy, the sustainable future we want. From CSR to the Ladders of Corporate Responsibilities and Sustainability (CRS) Taxonomy is recommended to public organizations and business enterprises managers and leaders, academics, students, and other individuals interested in the general knowledge of corporate responsibilities and sustainability.
