Three Big Things About Corporate Responsibility

"When we started this in 2006, there were twelve corporate responsibility officers by title in the whole Russell Corporate 1000, now we can count hundreds." Jay Whitehead

Jay Whitehead

Jay Whitehead has led business media companies in seven domains: venture capital, law, human resources, finance and accounting, investor relations, computing, and now corporate responsibility. He is the founder and Chairman of CRO Magazine, that's Corporate Responsibility Officer, and conference chair for the CRO conference program. The most recent CRO event was held on September 12th at the historic Union League Club, Chicago. In our exclusive Total Picture Radio interview, Peter Clayton talks with Jay about careers in the new field of corporate responsibility, several themes and trends which emerged at the latest CRO conference, and a number of high-level executives and presenters from Google, GE, SAP, GM, Interface, Kraft Foods, Deloitte, BASF, and other leading organizations.

On the CRO Blog, Dennis Schaal, the Editor-in-Chief of CRO Magazine wrote: "People find themselves in new jobs with new titles that deal with various and overlapping facets of CR and sustainability. Executives and their companies are looking for best practices, for answers, for templates on how to begin the process. In some cases, this evolution/revolution in global business practices has touched companies for years, and these companies have slotted board committees dealing with citizenship and diversity, for example, for a decade. But for many companies, CR is a new game, requiring a cultural revolution (with apologies to Mao and the Gang of Four) within the firm."
