Corporate Citizenship Briefing is published by The Corporate Citizenship Company, a specialist research consultancy helping companies succeed as good citizens worldwide.
The bi-monthly Briefing, and now Briefing online, have been invaluable sources of information and analysis to corporate social responsibility and community affairs managers since 1991.
"Since the early 1990s, Briefing has been reporting, analyzing and cajoling more responsible business pratice. It is an invaluable resource for anyone wanting to build corporate resposibility into business purpose and strategy, rather that it just being a bolt-on to business operations." David Grayson, associate director Business community, chairman of the small business Coalition, principal of virtual university BLU.
