The Best Corporate Citizens

I apologize for being on a little bit of a 'Corporate' theme this week. But I wanted to point out a very interesting article in the most recent Business Ethics Magazine. (H.T.: Sue S.) They just came out with their list of the Top 100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2006. You can find the article here.

I'm never a big fan of these lists (which may surprise you considering lists such as these make up my last two posts), primarily because there are so many great companies and ideas out there that to compile a list such as this invariably results in some bias.

Corporate Social Responsibility is a big buzz-word in today's businesses. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, as long as it is leading companies to spend time talking about the common good and their contribution to the larger issues outside themselves. But like servant leadership, it needs to be done for the right reasons.
