    Corporate Social Responsibility Along the Global Value Chain

    Locating substantial parts of the production process in developing and emerging economies, many firms face an increasing demand by stakeholders for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) along their value chains. Contractual incompleteness between firms and their suppliers at different stages of production can exacerbate the ability to meet these demands.

    Wissenschaftsraum Nachhaltigkeitsgovernance globaler Wertschöpfungsketten

    Die Produktion von Rohstoffen und Agrarprodukten ist häufig mit nicht-nachhaltigen Arbeits- und Umweltbedingungen verbunden – insbesondere in Ländern des Globalen Südens. Um dem entgegenzuwirken, wurden seit Mitte der 2010er Jahre in mehreren europäischen Staaten verbindliche Regulierungen zu unternehmerischen Sorgfaltspflichten eingeführt. Angesichts ihrer Komplexität und globalen Reichweite stellen Wertschöpfungsketten eine besondere Herausforderung für eine wirksame Nachhaltigkeitsgovernance dar. Dieses Projekt untersucht die bislang wenig erforschten Auswirkungen dieser Regulierungen – insbesondere auf die Bedingungen in den Produktionsländern.
