Yet \u2013 despite the fact that companies manage enormous resources and cross international borders \u2013 there are no systematically, universally applied business principles that govern how companies should address these issues. The results can be devastating for both the company and society.<\/p>\n<p>Challenged by teaching her globally diverse <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/\">Hult<\/a> students, Professor Lawrence determined that the UN Global Compact \u2013 with its Ten Principles covering human rights, labor, the environment, and bribery and corruption \u2013 could provide this universal, international framework. The Compact encourages business leaders\u00a0to focus on the means, as well as the results, generating both economic and social impact. Lawrence and co-editor Paul Beamish, Professor at the Richard Ivey School of Business, invited academics from around the world to comment on the principles, which are then illustrated through Ivey international case studies.<\/p>\n<p>Georg Kell, Executive Director of the UN Global Compact, states in the introduction, \u201cA new level of corporate performance will be needed to deliver on sustainability\u2019s promise\u2026.This will involve increasing the scale and intensity of current efforts. This book is a welcome addition to these efforts as it gives valuable guidance\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence, who heads to the UN\u2019s 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Global Forum for Responsible Management Education (PRME) and Rio+20, the UN\u2019s Conference on Sustainable Development, adds, \u201cMultinational companies can truly transform societies for the better, but we need a universal code that helps to level the playing field so those who behave responsibly are the norm, not the exception.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joanne Lawrence lectures on corporate responsibility and social innovation at Hult. She gained a wealth of international experience first-hand as a corporate executive and consultant, working with globally recognized organizations such as SmithKline Beecham, BP and the World Bank.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Hult International Business School<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hult is the world&#8217;s most international business school with campuses in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, and Shanghai.
