However, the exploration of strategic approaches to tackle the social dimension of sustainability has been largely neglected. This is especially true for the management of a company's engagement in society through, for example, donations, partnerships with NGOs, or employee volunteering.Building upon the latest academic discussion debating whether corporate societal engagement can create significant benefits for a company as well as society if managed strategically, Manuela Weber explores value creating societal strategy options. She shows how managers can develop these strategies and evaluate societal activities by assessing the actual business and societal benefits.
