CEOs see corporate social responsibility catching on
More than 70 percent of CEOs surveyed by the World Economic Forum believe mainstream investors will have an increased interest in corporate citizenship issues.
“We see increased interest in the social and environmental aspects of corporate performance by pension funds, insurance companies and other shareholders. Investment analysts, trustees and portfolio managers appear to be taking these issues more seriously than they were just a few years ago,†says Richard Samans, World Economic Forum Managing Director.
