The abatement of environmental degradation has been an issue which has received growing attention in recent times. Despite the increased attention however, environment pollution has remained unabated in Nigeria with its adverse impacts on the citizens. The question then is, do businesses owe society any social responsibility as it relates to the protection of environment? The Energy sector in Nigeria plays a very crucial role in Nigeria’s development, as the industrial development and innovation necessary for the economic development of any country is directly linked to the management of energy resources. Nigeria is endowed with abundant (fossil fuel) energy resources, such as oil, gas, coal, fuel wood, etc., which are dominantly the fuel sources for electrical energy production, yet, Nigeria is faced with environmental challenges capable of limiting and destroying access to these energy resources without taking cognizance of their environmental control. Therefore, this article attempts at navigating the imperative of Corporate Social Responsibility. Furthermore, the use of Corporate Social Responsibility as a tool for abatement and prevention of environmental damage to the energy sector is considered. Finally, possible recommendations were made as control measure through CSR in Nigeria in order to protect the energy resources and ensure a clean and healthy environment.

However, a new kind of pollutant, called ‘e-waste,’ has emerged due to the Internet revolution, otherwise a boon for development, but which is fast becoming one of the biggest threats to environment in the knowledge society of 21st century. It is significant to note that even the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has admitted that the amount of e-waste generated per year grows rapidly. E-waste is dangerous and poses a threat to human health and environment. What is more shocking is its transportation from developed to developing countries, which is being done on a large scale and such e-waste there is being handled and disposed of unscientifically creating environmental damage. It is noteworthy that protection of the environment and e-waste management is fast becoming a major Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). In promoting CSR as well as other responsibilities such as in the health or education sectors or poverty reduction, roughly 80 non-governmental organ sations (NGOs) (international or national) in collaboration with other actors have made sincere efforts raising awareness through campaigns by lobbying and so on. However, only a few of them are engaged in e-waste management related activates. This article is an attempt to study the role of Environmental NGOs (ENGOs) in promoting CSR, especially with regard to environment protection and e-waste management.

TitleEnviroServe: The Green Company in the UAE.Subject areaReverse logistics, environment, CSR.Study level/applicabilityBachelor and Graduate students.Case overviewThis case describes the role played by the company in linking various processes and taking the lead in the development of a unique “circular” flow of recycling activity which includes recovery, reuse and recycling schemes. Traditionally businesses were not held responsible for the product after use by the consumer. But, with growing stakeholder expectations in the area of corporate social responsibility and sustainability, businesses are more conscious about managing their social and environmental impacts. Today businesses are beginning to look at reverse logistics not only in terms of economic impacts but also environmental impacts. While consumers and other stakeholders want businesses to be more responsible in the way the product is produced such as to minimize waste production, the expectations have also changed to recovery of products after use in order to reduce cost and environmental impact of recycling. Businesses are becoming more responsible about collecting, reusing, refurbishing or dismantling used products to minimize environmental damage.Expected learning outcomesThe case is significant for teachers and students of “environment management”, corporate social responsibility, “supply chain” and “the importance of networks”. It can be used to understand how reverse logistics helps to minimize waste.Supplementary materialsTeaching notes.

Дотримання вимог корпоративного комплаєнсу (corporate compliance) на сьогодні є однією із мі-німальних вимог для позиціонування компанії як такої, яка намагається відповідати міжнародним стандартам ведення господарської діяльності. Фактично можна вести мову про те, що корпоративний комплаєнс є одним із принципів корпоративного управління. Автор зазначає, що корпоративний комплаєнс – це діяльність, пов’язана з контролем за дотриман-ням посадовими особами та працівниками вимог законодавства та локальних актів нормативного та ненормативного характеру в господарських товариствах. Корпоративний комплаєнс полягає у дотриманні певних стандартів і практик та у відповідності. Під відповідністю мається на увазі частина системи управління/контролю в організації, пов’язана з ризиками невідповідності, недотримання вимог законодавства, нормативних документів, правил і стандартів наглядових органів, галузевих асоціацій та саморегулюючих організацій, кодексів пове-дінки тощо. Такі ризики невідповідності в кінцевому підсумку можуть виявлятися у формі застосу-вання юридичних санкцій або санкцій регулюючих органів, фінансових або репутаційних втрат.У статті аргументується, що поняття корпоративного комплаєнсу неодмінно пов’язане з поняттям Corporate liability, яке не слід сплутувати з корпоративною соціальною відповідальністю (Corporate social responsibility). У статті акцентується увага на тому, що запозичення практик корпоративного комплаєнсу не набуло ще широкої популярності серед суб’єктів господарювання, що зумовлено рядом факторів: 1) новизною явища корпоративного комплаєнсу для бізнес-середовища не тільки України, але й в за-гальносвітовому масштабі; 2) особливостями ділової культури – іноді власникам суб’єкта господа-рювання – простіше ліквідувати підприємство, репутація якого зазнала шкоди через протиправні дії менеджменту, ніж дбати систематично про дотримання посадовими особами корпоративного комп-лаєнсу; 3) відсутністю кримінальної відповідальності юридичних осіб за законодавством України, оскільки на нормативному рівні закріплені лише заходи кримінально-правового характеру.
