The concept of CSR has permeated various sectors and countries, encompassing a wide range of activities and dimensions. It is widely accepted that today, organizations are increasingly motivated to broaden their performance focus from short-term goals to long-term social, environmental, and value-added perspectives.

Within the framework of corporate governance, organizations and companies are driven to promote fairness, transparency, ethics, and accountability in their transactions, while simultaneously upholding enhanced standards of governance. This necessitates that organizations and corporations align their activities with the aspirations of the community, which falls within the purview of CSR.

Increased attention has been directed towards organizations regarding their approach to meeting the needs of various stakeholders. However, a crucial issue that this book aims to address is the association, intersection, and interrelationship between governance and CSR within the EU region, which remains inadequately established in the existing literature.

The book endeavors to demonstrate that governance and CSR are closely interconnected. By examining the association of CSR with legal, managerial, and empirical aspects of governance in corporations and not-for-profit organizations across diverse sectors of the economy, the book seeks to provide valuable policy implications and offer constructive directions for future research.

This book will be of immense value to researchers, academics, practitioners, policymakers, and students in the fields of CSR and governance, organizational theory, marketing management, business ethics, and human resource management.
