Ratings, ratings
everywhere – what is a company to do?

Companies are increasingly asked to fill out surveys to help various organizations score companies against each other. It would be easy for corporate responsibility practitioners to spend all their time on surveys. But this isn't realistic nor is this a good use of time.
