Corporate social responsibility (CSR)

27/10/2004 - Last chance to be a part of Environment Index 11/9/04

The deadline to submit completed surveys for this year's Environment Index is 19 November 2004.

500 Companies, inlcuding the FTSE350, have been invited to participate in Business in the Community's 9th annual Environment Index (formerly known as the BiE Index) and 3rd Corporate Responsibility Index (CR Index).

The Environment Index remains the leading indicator of corporate environmental engagement. It is a well established business management tool, developed to support companies in improving their impact on the environment. It provides a systematic approach to managing, measuring and reporting a company's environmental performance. Moreover, it provides a useful tool to engage board members, and helps businesses conduct a detailed gap analysis on their performance compared with their peers.

The results of the 3rd Corporate Responsibility Index will be published in the Companies that Count supplement of The Sunday Times on 3rd April 2005.
