Corporate Social Responsibility and Gender Equality in Japan: Historical and Current Perspectives (1st Edition 2021)

This book examines key issues in gender equality and corporate social responsibility in Japan.

Legal compliance, the business case and social regulation are examined as driving factors for enhancing gender equality in corporations.

In turn, case studies from various contexts, such as the hotel industry, retail and financial services companies add practical insights to the theoretical debate.

The role of governments, NGOs and supranational organizations is examined as well.

Given its scope, the book will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, policymakers and practitioners interested in advancing the gender, CSR and sustainability debates.
