Why CSR?
Corporate decisions have a massive impact on how we live our lives and function as a societyTurnover of many Global Corporations exceed the GDP of sovereign nationsWal-Mart’s turnover for 2005 was $287 billion which would make it the 22nd richest country in the world

Infamy, Infamy…they all have it in for me!
In just over 20 years since China and India opened up their economies, 600 million people (10% of the world’s population) have been drawn out of poverty.Yet…this amazing impact is not reflected in how the business world is viewed.Public Agenda (2004) put business second from the bottom in terms of public regard.

Striking the balance
Business has had a much more positive impact on the world than detractors admitStill there are ongoing issues that companies need to think about if trust is to be maintained You can not buy this kind of trust…and it is becoming increasing difficult to prosper without it.
