Does the financial crisis spell the end of corporate responsibility?

CSR Expert View: "The financial crisis - sustainability friend or foe?"  

We look at the impact of the current downturn on corporate sustainability and responsibility and ask what does the new business as usual need to look like if we are to begin to address long-term sustainability issues.

Transparency & anti-corruption best practice

Ford - integrating transparency & anti-corruption through the business

As part of our commitment to work actively against corruption and share best practice of building transparency, we have developed the first of five best practice case studies looking at building transparency and combating corruption.  During the remainder of 2009, we will research, write and publish four more case studies on best practice transparency and examples of combating corruption.
Coming up in 2009...

Latest batch of CSR case studies in our ongoing series now available

Kite Model – the book:
We recently carried out a body of research looking at the role of coaching towards sustainability.  From this, we have developed a coaching model to address organisations’ approaches to environmental, social, ethical and economic issues, and which facilitates truly embedded behaviour change towards sustainable practice.  Look out for the book later in 2009!

In the meantime, why not check out our Kite Model workshops and coaching programme.

Yes, regulatory intervention will dampen the desire to go beyond compliance
No, if anything it has highlighted the need for organisations to truly embed responsibility into their operations
