NIRI 2009 survey on sustainability

The National Investor Relations Institute (NIRI) recently released the results of its first survey on sustainability practices. The survey revealed that respondents have a growing awareness of corporate social responsibility but relative to other current realities, do not consider it a pressing issue. Consequently, respondents generally disagreed that investor relations has played a leadership role in establishing sustainability strategy to date, with a majority disagreeing that sustainability occupies much of their thinking in their professional roles. Nevertheless, sustainability concerns are a growing reality. (View the NIRI slide deck of the survey results.)
