Get Real: The Facts on What Works in Corporate Responsibility
Submitted by kgilliam on Wed, 2011-04-13 12:41.This year I jumped on the Corporate Responsibility cocktail circuit. I've attended literally a dozen events this year already and at every one, I eventually end up in the same conversation: cornered by a pundit opining on what companies should do.
Don't get me wrong. Many of these people not only have good intentions, they often have very good ideas. But here's what they don't have: responsibility. They're not in the chair with the actual responsibility for delivering on these programs. I used to be a consultant -- and I'm married to one -- so I know that consultants can offer a lot. But I also know, that companies can learn a lot from each other.
That's why, in cooperation with NYSE Euronext, we started the CR Best Practices Survey last year and why we continue it this year. Last year we had a terrific response rate, with over 650 companies responding. We want to beat that this year and produce the most comprehensive survey of actual successful practices; what's really working in live operations at real companies.

In this third installment of our Ethical Dilemmas Series, Kevin Moss puts forward a Truth vs. Loyalty dilemma. As a Corporate Responsibility professional, do you have to act when your company behaves in an unethical manner? Other professions have positive obligations. Should CROs? Help us test our draft Ethics Code by playing out this scenario in your own mind and giving us your feedback. At CRO Summit we had some great live-fire exercises. Share how you'd resolve this dilemma and how the Ethics Code helped (or didn't). |

How do you compare and contrast Corporate Responsibility in Europe vs. the US? The CROA's European Steering Committee opened my eyes to the differences and revealed a common ground we can build upon.
