Unfortunately, recent survey results suggest many US companies are not going to impliment such a policy this year either.  This news is from a slightly different perspective than I&#8217;m used to reading it from, being an HR based company &#8211; but CSR covers a lot of [...]

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CSR is a big word and seems to attract attention from many aspects. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, recent <a href="http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/index.jsp?epi_menuItemID=887566059a3aedb6efaaa9e27a808a0c&#038;ndmViewId=news_view&#038;ndmConfigId=1000108&#038;newsId=20080116005769&#038;newsLang=en" target="_blank">survey results</a> suggest many US companies are not going to impliment such a policy this year either.  This news is from a slightly different perspective than I&#8217;m used to reading it from, being an HR based company &#8211; but CSR covers a lot of ground and there&#8217;s room for everyone.</p>
<p>I think I like the perspective of <a href="http://www.accountability-central.com/single-view-default/single-view-lexis-nexis/article/how-good-should-your-business-be-ethical-capitalism/?tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=1&#038;cHash=7a96699cb9">this opinion bit</a> - that CSR comes from community and government enforcement.  Waiting for businesses to change on their own will take too much time&#8230;</p>
<p>I think what makes CSR that much harder is that it&#8217;s so hard to measure, in terms that mean the right things to the right people, anyhow.  There are <a href="http://www.globalreporting.org/Home">guidelines available</a> &#8211; and a place to read <a href="http://www.corporateregister.com/">the reports</a> - but I still haven&#8217;t found a good way to reflect on them as a group, yet.</p>
