“Customers are increasingly demanding socially-minded products, services, and even supply chains, according to IBM’s new Global CEO Study. While customers have always cared about societal issues, those concerns are now more frequently turning into action as the more socially aware customer evaluates an enterprise’s CSR profile before making purchasing decisions.”
