Changing the Game of Finance

This report from Ethical Corporation provides specific guidance on incorporating corporate responsibility at all levels within a corporation, whether it be procurement, human resources, communications and marketing, finance and accounting, or facilities, logistics and operations. The report includes findings from in-depth interviews with senior managers in companies across many sectors, allowing for strong case studies demonstrating the principles advocated. Though addressed to experienced CR and sustainability professionals, the substantive information provided in the “stand-alone department guides” makes this as good a tool for veteran CR managers as for managers newly tasked to take corporate responsibility from theory to practice.
