US: Nine out of ten business leaders think CSR will thrive under Obama

Nearly nine out of ten business leaders polled by Business for Social Responsibility have said they believe that US President-Elect Barack Obama will have a positive impact on the promotion of the corporate social responsibility agenda.

The survey respondents focused on what they saw would be the three most important steps that the new president should take, which were to promote investment in renewable energy and carbon capture, to develop a climate change mitigation strategy, and to initiate partnerships between business, government and civil society.

The near consensus was also that there would be increased regulation of corporate activity, particularly on climate change and financial transparency.
