[The Conference Board Report](http://www.conference-board.org/publications/publicationdetail.cfm?publicationid=2161&subtopicid=270)

[This report](http://www.conference-board.org/publications/publicationdetail.cfm?publicationid=2161&subtopicid=270) examines how American corporations collectively describe their corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities based on an analysis of data collected from 103 Fortune 500 websites. The results suggest that while there is commonality in CSR communication at the institutional level, differences exist across industries.
