According to a first world report on corporate social responsibility: Only a small percentage of companies published social reports or had codes of ethics, suppliers codes, or environmental policies in place. Larger companies and those in certain industries like telecom performed better on CSR measures than smaller or service companies. Factors like having a CSR manager, ethics training, and paying better wages were linked to higher CSR scores. However, CSR was still largely viewed as charity and progress on it over time was surprisingly lacking across many companies globally.
