  • View of the Extant Literature and a De- There Is Widespread Interest in Social Responsibility Scription of Our Research Methods, Our Findings Suggest Reporting”
    Fuller International Journal of Corporate Social Responsibility (2018) 3:12 International Journal of https://doi.org/10.1186/s40991-018-0034-3 Corporate Social Responsibility ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Letters from the top: a comparative control group study of CEO letters to stakeholders Mark Fuller Abstract This paper examines corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting with a focus on communications from management. It examines letters from the board chair, CEO and/or senior CSR lead to gain a deeper understanding of how firms disclose their past performance and whether firms noted for the CSR reporting disclose their information in meaningfully different ways compared to other firms. Using a comparative analysis between treatment and control groups, we explore whether there is a difference in reporting approaches between a sample of highly regarded CSR reporters vis-à-vis firms recognized for their high profitability. Our findings suggest CSR-recognized firms discuss sustainability issues in greater quantity but without much meaningful difference in quality. We postulate a parabolic relationship between report quality and cost to explain this situation, discussing both the theoretical and the practical implications. Keywords: Corporate social responsibility, CSR reporting, CEO communications, Voluntary reporting, Mandatory reporting, Stakeholder management, Letters to stakeholders, Canada Introduction Management’s discussion and analysis of a firm’sCSR CSR reporting activities have been explored in many con- activities are a critical component within a firm’s texts, with stakeholder theory playing a prominent role in reporting activities.

  • Abuse by Barrick Gold Corporation Barrick's Porgera Gold Mine
    FACTSHEET: Abuse by Barrick Gold Corporation Representing survivors of gang rape and those killed by Barrick Gold Corporation’s security guards at the Porgera gold mine in Papua New Guinea Canadian mining company Barrick Gold Corporation, the largest gold mining company in the world, operates the Porgera mine in Papua New Guinea (PNG), where security guards have raped and gang-raped hundreds of local women and girls and killed several local men. EarthRights International (ERI) represents a number of survivors of rape and family members whose relatives were killed by Barrick security guards. Barrick’s Porgera Gold Mine Barrick has owned and operated the Porgera gold mine since 2006, when it acquired the previous owner, Placer Dome. Barrick also acquired a legacy of environmental damage and human rights abuses that it has failed to remedy. Each day, Barrick dumps more than 16,000 tons of waste into the Porgera River and local creeks that villagers have long relied upon for drinking water, bathing, and washing clothes and food. The mine’s ever-expanding waste dumps continue to take over the land and bury the homes of the original landowners that have lived in the region for generations, long before large-scale mining came to Porgera. Surrounded on all sides, villagers have no choice but to cross the dangerous dumps to reach agricultural land, commercial areas, schools or other villages. Many have not been compensated for the loss of their land and their homes, and Barrick has refused to relocate them. Without land to farm and sources of clean water, practically the only means of income available to some of the local indigenous communities is to scavenge for remnants of gold in the open pit or the treacherous waste dumps.
