“I got into the field with precious little knowledge of what it was all about. It appeared to involve a great deal of work with other people, in both the (organization) and the broader community, as well as generally being among the forces for good in our society. I think I also glimpsed from the outset that it involved ‘working with people when they are at their best’”.

“Can corporate responsibility survive tough economic times?………My answer is is a resounding “yes”. Because corporate responsibility isn’t only about how a company spends its money; its about how it makes its money. The only way a company can survive tough economic times is by managing its financial social and environmental performance, and paying attention to all three.”
