ABOUT THE RESEARCH

In an increasingly connected and globalised world, the role, influence and, by consequence, responsibility, of business towards addressing societal and environmental goals is unquestionable.

From Blackrock’s annual CEO letter to the movement embodied by Greta Thunberg. We have seen a meteoric shift in expectation and urgency for corporate responsibility which is uniting the world’s largest institutional investors with school children in a call for greater action.

Despite this, industry research on corporate responsibility (CR) has often tracked a narrow set of trends within sustainability, community investment or general business and strategy. We recognise the need to approach the responsible business agenda more holistically and understand the role that businesses and CR professionals see for themselves within society.

This survey is now closed

We are in the process of collating the results and we will be revealing them shortly. 

We want this research to gather insight from experts like you, so we can:

  • Give visibility to critical issues within responsible business agenda, including leading practice and perspectives of practitioners;
  • Provide insights that will inform CR practitioners’ future programming and policy-makers.

We hope you can spare 10 minutes to complete our survey and have your say on what makes a responsible business.
