Part of our commitment to advocacy is to opinion-form for corporate social responsibility – identifying the key issues and emerging trends in CSR and sustainability through our work with international business and government, our original research and strong networks. We are also active contributors to literature and conferences.
In this section, you will find the best of this information distilled for you in the distinctive Article 13 way. Every few months we focus on an emerging or developing trend and analyse the implications and opportunities for business and government. We aim to be edgy, provocative and innovative, exploring unexpected paths that individuals and organisations might follow to ‘break the cycle’.

Feedback and your views...
Every few months we ask what you think about a particular topic. Last update we asked, “Has stakeholder engagement ever revealed issues that either weren't on your organisation's radar or hadn't been prioritised correctly?” We make no claims for the statistical validity of the results of our website polls, but they always give us things to think about and we do monitor what you tell us, so your vote does count!
More than sixty percent of respondents told us that through engagement with their stakeholders they had uncovered issues that they hadn't previously identified or considered a priority, with only 14% of respondents indicating that stakeholder engagement had not told them anything they didn't already know. The remaining respondents were not sure either way.
