To me CSR is not a new thing. Many Danish companies have always been active in taking care of their employees as well as caring about social and environmental consequences. This not only applies to large companies. Smaller companies also have a responsibility - Minister for Economic and Business Affairs Bendt Bendtsen, June 2005
Last week at the Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) Conference in New York more than 400 business leaders were asked whether President-elect Barack Obama will have a positive impact on advancing the corporate responsibility agenda. 9 out of 10 respondents believe that the Obama administration will embrace CSR. Respondents outlined the three most important steps the Obama Administration should take to advance corporate responsibility around the world: 1. Promote major investments in renewable energy and carbon capture, storage tec 2. Take measurable steps toward progress on effective, efficient and fair global clima change mitigation strategies. (53%) 3. Initiate cross-sector collaboration among business, government, and civil society. -Aneesa Arshad - October 21, 2008 A Movement Building at the Center of Money
While few trust business now, Ban Ki-Moon points out the irony that two-thirds of the world's people "think business should be fully engaged in tackling our common problems." Which businesses fit this bill? One answer is the list of Global 100 Most Sustainable Companies i n the World announced each year by Corporate Knights and Innovest Strategic Value Advisors. Perhaps predictably, turnover in the list this year was highest amongst financial firms, with 14 (including AIG and Societe Generale) dropping off, and only nine (including Goldman Sachs) replacing them. This year, CSRwire members Procter & Gamble and SAP made the list.
