Information on corporate social responsibility is readily available in print media (such as magazines, websites, and reports) but is much harder to find in audio, the medium that is gaining in relevance with the explosive growth of podcasting and satellite radio.
This week's releases feature an announcement by Business Ethics magazine about the launch of its new one-hour radio program called "Good Company" that broadcasts weekly on Sirius Satellite Radio channel 114. The show, hosted by the magazine's publisher and executive editor Michael Connor in conversation with CSR thought leaders, will feature an interview with Social Investment Forum (SIF) President Tim Smith and Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) Energy and Environment Program Director Leslie Lowe talking about shareowner advocacy this week starting on Thursday, January 12 from 7 to 8 pm Eastern Standard Time (see release for other air-times).
Speaking of shareowner advocacy, ICCR issued a release this past week on five shareowner resolutions ICCR members filed at Wal-Mart, which ICCR Executive Director Sister Pat Wolf characterizes as "a company in need of reform." These resolutions ask the company to address issues ranging from compensation disparity to sustainability reporting to toxic substances in its products to the impacts on public health systems due to the company's insufficient health care benefits.
