Beschreibung:
This report examines Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Germany. To this aim, it first takes a closer look at the German definition of CSR as well as the enforcement of CSR rules by the German government and its agencies (at A.). It then assesses the ways in which CSR standards are or may be safeguarded in different areas of the law (at B.), and how, if issues arise, CSR disputes may be resolved outside of court proceedings (at C.). If court proceedings may, however, not be avoided, a number of issues arise. These are the focus of the last three sections of this report: It explores when German courts will have jurisdiction to adjudicate CSR cases (at D.), which law will be applicable (at E.), and, finally, under which circumstances foreign judgments on CSR issues may be recognised and enforced in Germany (at F.)
