Abstract

In recent years a number of multinational companies, including Ikea, Home Depot and Nike, have become agents of social change by convening or joining networks of stakeholders to address complex socioeconomic and environmental issues. In attempting to deal with sustainability and corporate responsibility they have gradually shifted their change efforts from their own operations (that is, improving eco-efficiency) to upstream and downstream stakeholders (that is, supply-chain compliance with environmental and social policies) and, finally, to working with networks of governments, civic societies and businesses to change entire economic or social systems.
