Evaluating Corporations on CSRC

SR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is
topic of great interest today. Enterprisesin the 21st century place more importance on
their relationships with various stockholders,
employees, customers, and local communities,
and rather than solely focusing on profits,
are expected to pay attention to the impactof their management and business practices
on the safety, environment, ethical conduct,and social contributions. Moreover, theimplications of CSR carry so far as toacting like an indispensable passport forestablishing a presence abroad.
Toyo Keizai was a forerunner in focusing
on CSR, a new guiding principal for
corporate behavior as well as an importantevaluation component. Since 2005, we haveconducted a yearly survey among leading
companies, the results of which are revealedin our CSR KIGYO SORAN .
Currently we receive responses fromover 1,400 companies, with our survey
covering a broad range of CSR work on
governance, compliance, human resourcesand employment, response to consumers andclients, social contributions, environment,and more. Our company has the reputationof compiling Japan’s largest CSR database.
Combine these results with financial
evaluations that make up the foundationof all corporate business, we then publish
our CSR Rankings. Companies are ranked
according to overall standing, high growth,utilization of human resources, environment,
corporate governance, and social awareness.
Additionally, rankings by paid leave, numberof female department heads, internal affair
counts, and more appear on TOYOKEIZAIONLINE, and have attracted considerable
attention from enterprises and readers alike,
contributing to the promotion of CSR.
