Investing in Corporate Social Responsibility A Guide to Best Practice Business Planning the UK's Leading Companies
Author: John Hancock

* Of interest to analysts dealing in international socially responsible funds * Includes a directory of the FTSE4Good 300 companies, performance data and criteria, and company case studies CRS (Corporate Social responsibility) is thriving. According to The Economist [January 24, 2004] it has become "an industry in itself, with full-time staf... more »f, websites, newsletters, professional associations and massed armies of consultants". The FTSE and Dow Jones have both launched indices of socially responsible corporations. The rapid growth of ethical investment funds in Britain (or "socially responsible investing" in the US) reflects a growing desire for investors to back socially responsible companies. And there are other sound reasons why companies that are seen to be ethical, environmentally friendly, good employers etc, can see real benefits to their bottom line. Recent revisions to British stock market rules have made ethical funds available to a much wider group of advisors and investors. This book explains the issues and the benefits of corporate social responsibility in the context of an analysis of the 300 quoted UK companies currently listed on the prestigious FTSE4Good index. The FTSE4Good Index series measures companies by more than just financial success. This a family of benchmark and tradable financial indices measures the performance of companies that meet globally recognised corporate responsibility standards, and to facilitate investment in those companies. Part One of "Investing in Corporate Social Responsibility" covers recent corporate ethics issues and the damage that revelations of dishonesty and unethical practice can do to stock markets. It explains how businesses can avoid these problems and why it is good to do so. It addresses the criteria by which companies are seen to be "socially responsible" and the growing importance of SR to investors and other stakeholders. It also analyzes the performance of the FTSE4Good index and compares the sector to the general market.. Part Two contains a full directory of the 300 companies listed on the FTSE4Good index, and tables showing how companies fit the criteria. This is followed by individual company profiles and company case studies including: Centrica, EMI, Friends Provident, Whitbread, National Express and National Grid. Contributors include the DTI, FTSE, EIRIS, the UN and Business in the Community and corporations including Diageo, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Deloitte & Touche, KPMG
