About the Book:

The twenty-first century has ushered in a paradigm shift in how corporations define success. The traditional pursuit of profit is increasingly being complemented and sometimes challenged by the pursuit of purpose. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks have emerged as critical tools in redefining the contours of corporate governance, accountability, and sustainability.

Profit with Purpose seeks to explore this transformation through a multidisciplinary lens, bringing together perspectives from law, policy, management, and sustainability studies. The book will critically examine how CSR and ESG are reshaping governance mechanisms, influencing boardroom decision-making, and reorienting corporations toward long-term, inclusive growth.

This edited volume aims to provide both theoretical depth and practical insight, situating corporate responsibility within broader discourses of sustainable development, ethical capitalism, and regulatory evolution. The book aims to present both empirical and conceptual perspectives on how companies can leverage CSR and ESG as a foundation for comprehensive strategies aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Objectives:

• To analyse how CSR and ESG frameworks are influencing modern corporate governance principles.
• To evaluate the legal and regulatory underpinnings of CSR and ESG in India and globally.
• To examine the role of boards, directors, and regulators in promoting sustainability and ethical accountability.

We invite chapter proposals for the Legal Translation and Legal Interpreting: Principles, Practice and Quality Assessment section of the forthcoming International Handbook of Legal Language and Communication: From Text to Semiotics.

This section aims to delve into the principles, practice, and quality assessment of legal translation and legal interpreting. For example, we will explore the intricate processes and guiding principles of courtroom interpreting, including the ethical considerations, the roles of interpreters, and the challenges they face in high-stakes legal environments. Additionally, we will examine the practical applications of legal translation and interpreting in various legal scenarios, such as international arbitration, cross-border litigation, and legislative drafting. The quality assessment of legal translation and interpreting will also be a focal point, discussing the criteria for evaluating accuracy, consistency, and fidelity to the original text or speech. We will also explore how legal translators serve as an expert witness in evaluating the translation quality of disputed legal texts for the court.

Submission Information

We encourage proposals that engage with any of the above areas, or related topics, and we are also open to completely new perspectives. To express your interest, please submit a short abstract (approx. 300 words) outlining your proposed contribution along with a brief bio. There is no deadline for submitting proposals.

• Sustainable Entrepreneurship in a Globalized Digital Economy: Navigating Innovation, Impact, and Scalability in the 21st Century
• Please send a two-page chapter proposal on or before September 14, 2025 to sascha@tec.mx

This book responds to this gap by integrating research on digital transformation with frameworks for responsible and sustainable business. It provides a holistic view of sustainable entrepreneurship, balancing environmental and social considerations with technological and economic factors. Hence, conceptual, empirical, or case study chapters need to focus on aspects that integrate digitalization, sustainability, and entrepreneurship in an international context:

• The integration of sustainability, digitalization, and international entrepreneurship.

• New conceptual models that extend and combine frameworks such as the resource-based view, institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and platform theory in the context of sustainable digital entrepreneurship.

• Contemporary case studies across different contexts that illustrate how sustainability-driven ventures are founded, digitized, and (internationally) scaled.

• Emerging themes, such as the role of generative artificial intelligence and ethics in sustainable entrepreneurship, green innovation, circular economy business models, and scaling of impact-driven start-ups in an international context.

We look for conceptual and empirical chapters as well as case studies covering different geographical areas.

Deadlines & Communication

• Submission of chapter proposals for review (two pages): September 14, 2025
