Don't get sucked into the intellectual bullying. It's time to shift the burden of proof: commit to doing the right thing and then figure out how to do it in a way that earns an ROI. |

How should we judge corporate responsibility? What data and sources of data should we trust? Particularly in a world of near-universally available publishing where data may be incorrect or easily manipulated, how do we know which data are correct?
