G&A Institute Update (Issue 4, November 2011) -- US Corporate Sustainability & Responsibility Reporting

Update: 
US Corporate Sustainability 
& Responsibility Reporting

From small beginnings just a few years ago, US companies have stepped up their disclosure and reporting on sustainability and responsibility strategies, goals, performance, and achievements. 

A growing number of shareholders are keenly interested in these disclosures. So, too are key stakeholders. The influentials shape access to capital, market valuations, marketing success, shape reputations of US companies, and are critical to corporate freedom to operate.
