And it’s not what you think.

An unprecedented gauge of the market, with NYSE Euronext.

The highest-minded corporate policies on procurement or carbon measurement are ultimately realized by the workforce.

Corporate Responsibility Magazine (the new name of CRO Magazine) announces its 11th annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens List, known as the world’s top corporate responsibility ranking based on publicly-available information and recognized by PR Week as one of America’s top three most-important  business rankings.

 NYSE EuroNext CEO Duncan Niederauer ruminates on climate change, financial regulation and the role of the CRO.

Sometimes CR seems to be 100 percent risk. But at CR Magazine’s Responsible CEO of the Year event, it’s all about the reward.

Molson Coors Brewing Company earlier this year entered into a strategic collaboration with Circle of Blue in support of their mutual and long-term commitment to protecting global fresh water supplies. The collaboration's first initiative was to launch an independent survey of public awareness and concern for fresh water issues in 25 countries around the world, with a deeper evaluation of attitudes about fresh water conservation in a smaller subset of seven countries.

Since President Obama’s November 2008 election victory, CRO Magazine publisher Jay Whitehead and Amit Chatterjee, CEO of environmental and energy management software company Hara, have agreed that the U.S. is moving quickly toward pricing a ton of CO2 emissions, creating an urgent need for a how-to-compete guide for corporate leaders.  So the pair collaborated on the first CO2-centric corporate competitive roadmap, The Post-Carbon Economy, the First Edition of which appears in August (SOFICO Books, www.postcarboneconomybook.com). 

This second-annual CRO’s Responsible CEO of the Year Award is different than any other business honor. First, it recognizes individual CEO expertise in articulating the common good and then convincing thousands of others to make a good business out of it. Second, it’s a trophy for leadership in progress, because perfection in Corporate Responsibility is a goal that’s always moving just beyond our grasp. And third, it reflects the professional chauvinism of the corporate responsibility-obsessed editorial team at CRO Magazine, the only publication solely focused on the four professional domains in Corporate Responsibility—GRC, sustainability, CSR and philanthropy.
