Useful Links

There are a few resources on the internet which can provide jumping off points for anyone seeking to gather a wealth of information about corporate social responsibility.

Then there are a number of sites produced by key CSR activists who provide a their own thoughts and resources which will be of interest.

Necessarily, this is only a starting point.

Business Respect. The sister website to this one, and the home of the Business Respect email newsletter on CSR - going strong since 2001. Go here for a great CSR events calendar, and CSR jobs board.
	Ethical Corporation - the print magazine and website that covers CSR issues in a lively journalistic style that leaves many others standing.
BITC Marketplace campaign. Focusing on responsible business practice on core products and services - CSR being about how companies create money, not just spend it
	Business for Social Responsibility. Probably the most high profile website dealing with CSR issues - bringing with it a considerable resource centre plus further benefits for BSR members

	World Business Council on Sustainable Development. Good resources here, particularly with a number of recent reports dealing with CSR and reporting
AccountAbility. The Institute of Social and Ethical Accountability - the core site for the professional development of accountability practitioners and home of AA1000
