Book excerpt: Today, the demands of citizens and governments on the modern company are for it to play a very broad role in the development of society, and be a partner in building a fairer, more stable and sustainable world. Through philanthropic and corporate citizenship activities, businesses are already making significant contributions in a range of areas, including those on education, health, the environment and water provision. Good corporate citizenship can also contribute significantly to the wider goals of sustainable development, including the Millennium Development Goals. As the Commonwealth Business Council has demonstrated in its publication, Corporate Citizenship in Action: Learning from Commonwealth Experience (2003), there is a growing body of experience to draw on and learn from.
