Supportive Information and Links
There are a wide and quickly expanding range of sources for further information
on the subject of corporate social responsibility and related concepts such as
corporate sustainability, corporate accountability, corporate citizenship, corporate
sustainable development, corporate stewardship, etc.. Some of these are very broad
based and others are relatively focussed. There are many effective search engines
that are capable of ferreting out information necessary to enhance a business
perspective on the subject. Nonetheless, the following is a list (presented in
three categories) of some more salient sources and links that can be used to provide
further information on CSR:

The National Corporate Social Responsibility Report: Managing
Risks, Leveraging Opportunities
Global pressures are challenging corporations to improve the impacts
of their decisions and operations on society. Corporations are being called
upon to ensure that their performance reflects the values, interests and
expectations of society. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is becoming
a vital part of a longer-term and more comprehensive approach to business
success.
The Conference Board of Canada has prepared a report that analyses the
self-assessed corporate social responsibility management practices of
53 large Canadian companies, and reviews the public reporting practices
of Canada's 300 largest corporations. In partnership with others, Industry
Canada and a number of other federal organizations (Environment Canada,
Foreign Affairs Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Social Development Canada)
financially supported this initiative.
