The document discusses various corporate social responsibility agendas and initiatives. It provides an overview of consumer and stakeholder concerns about the environment, health, and corporate accountability. It then considers different agenda options for PMA, including ignoring CSR, capitalizing on it for marketing purposes, educating members, taking a full value chain approach, or improving communication. The recommendation is for PMA to help members define, design, and implement sustainability agendas as an integrated part of their marketing efforts through educational webinars, resources, and research.

24. Bank of America: Green Bank or Greenwash? posted by Nell in Global Finance on April 3rd, 2008 Or at least that was the question on the mind of Fortune Magazine’s Marc Gunther, in his “Black, White or Green?” blog post yesterday. On the same day as we awarded Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis the Fossil Fool of the Year award for being a lead financier of new coal-fired powerplants and mountaintop removal, he was in NY to accept an award from NRDC for the Bank’s new “green” skyscraper and their $20 billion commitment to renewable energy. The coincidence compelled Gunther to ask: “So is the Bank of America an environmental hero? A villain? Both? Or neither?” As corporations and financial institutions begin to respond to the demand for action on climate change, it seems we are always in a state of wondering where a company stands on the green line. How can we tell with Bank of America? Well, just as Bank of America measures their bottom-line with ones and zeros, we’re measuring their environmental impact by where their money is. As of 2006, every $1 Bank of America invested in renewable energy was matched by another $100 spent on dirty energy. To use an appropriate cliché, perhaps its time they put their money where their mouth is. Rainforest Action Network blog:

47. Deborah Doane , the chair of the Britain-based organization CORE Coalition (for "COrporate REsponsibility"), wrote an article for the Fall 2005 issue of the Stanford Social Innovation Review where she listed and debunked what she called "the four key myths of CSR." Those myths are: " The market can deliver both short-term financial returns and long-term social benefits." A ccording to Doane, not only are the interests of profit-seeking corporations and broader society often at odds, but socially responsible investments by corporations "are particularly unlikely to pay off in the two- to four-year time horizon that public companies, through demands of the stock market, often seem to require." "The ethical consumer will drive change." Doane writes, "Most surveys show that consumers are more concerned about things like price, taste, or sell-by date than ethics." "There will be a competitive 'race to the top' over ethics amongst businesses." While CSR efforts often "offer good PR," which companies of course like, "in some cases businesses may be able to capitalize on well-intentioned efforts, say by signing the U.N. Global Compact, without n ecessarily having to actually change their behavior." "In the global economy, countries will compete to have the best ethical practices." Although companies often claim that their presence in "developing" countries will improve health, environmental and labor conditions, Doane counters, "companies often fail to uphold voluntary standards of behavior in developing countries, arguing instead that they operate within the law of the countries in which they are working.” BUT….
