handle is hein.journals/amslawf12 and id is 1 raw text is: AMSTERDAM LAW FORUM AMSTERDAM L iLAW FORUM Editorial WINTER ISSUE: The Amsterdam Law Forum Editorial Board The editors and board of the Amsterdam Law Forum (ALF) hereby proudly present the 2020 Winter Issue. This is tie first issue to be presented by an entirely new editorial team for the academic year of 2019 - 2020. Besides changes to the editorial team, we are also pleased to announce the launch of the improved ALF website. As a result of this transition period, the publication of the Winter Issue has encountered some delay, however, the publication of the Spring and Summer Issue are expected to follow as planned. The final matter that we would like to touch upon is our annual conference. Every year ALF organises a conference where various experts are invited to present and discuss their perspectives on a topical issue. Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the sphere of uncertainty, our team has decided to cancel this year's conference. ALF is a valuable platform for both established as well as emerging academics to share their work, while striving to maintain a certain level of quality, originality and peer recognition. However, despite such measures and our best efforts, our team was made aware of a potential case of author misconduct published in our Spring Issue of 2019. After having discovered this author's plagiarism, ALF decided to immediately retract the article of D. Liakopoulos. ALF cares deeply about preserving the integrity of its platform and thereby we aim to move forward by taking due responsibility, but also by continuing to display the value of this platform. On that note, the ALF team is delighted to publish in it's Winter Issue three compelling scientific articles touching upon a diverse selection of topics and further strengthening our understanding of international and transnational legal issues. In this first piece, Victoria S. Azizi, confronts us with a topical matter which has much interest within the corporate world, specifically with regards to stakeholder engagement. 'Corporate Social Responsibility' (CSR) is an umbrella concept for a corporation's responsibility towards the society. It embraces an ethical, moral and business element that requires the commirtment of people at all levels of the corporation. The concept tends to present itself with a soft law shield and therefore corporations usually have to go beyond their initial (legal and economic) obligations to implement its policies. The author tries to outline what the driving factors are for corporations to adopt concept of CSR. In doing so, the author first of all examines the evolution of CSR and the development of its regulation at an international and European level. Furthermore, recent corporate scandals and their post-scandal behavior is investigated to highlight the power of society on a corporation and its well-being. Lastly, with the use of a case study, the author presents the added value found in CSR for corporations. Although the DOI: 10.37974/ALF.343 VOL. 12:1
