A study at Drexel LeBow shows that the U.S. managerial labor market takes into account corporate social performance when assessing the quality of CEOs.

In today’s environment, how nonprofit organizations communicate is as important as what they communicate.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is increasingly viewed as a topic of strategic importance. The vast majority of Fortune 1000 companies now engage in social and environmental responsibility activities, and CSR spending has reached unprecedented levels. For example, in 2010, Walmart gave more than $340 million in cash to charity, and Alcoa gave away 6.2 percent of its pre-tax profit. Keep in mind that these numbers represent only a portion of total CSR spending; others include environmental initiatives, volunteering programs, and workplace safety.
