But, as with all information, the rewards go to those who can dig through the chaff to find the wheat. My students use the best of these CSR's (and, yes, some are amazingly informative) in class projects to determine ROI metrics for progress on movement toward green and, to some extent, sustainable practices. They also learn a lot about "who's tracking what" in their businesses. So, let's not give up on the CSR just yet. Diligent audiences can learn a lot from them - but it takes work.
