Monograph

A Religious Foundation for Global Business Ethics

CSR and Religious Ethics in an Age of Globalization
  • Cristiano Ciappei,
  • Giacomo Mininni

This book aims to draft a viable path for establishing a business ethics model based on the wisdom traditions of nine of the world's great religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, and Animism.
In light of the failure of many models based on various philosophies, we turn to the only cultural and anthropological realities that have proven to withstand the test of time and move the consciences of billions of people throughout history: religions. By exploring sacred texts and wisdom traditions, we investigate how religions contribute to the ongoing ethical debate in business environments, with the aim of sparking academic and public interest in the potential of establishing a truly effective religion-based business ethics model.
