New research shows how companies reporting on sustainability out perform their peers An important question often posed by corporate board members and executives: does disclosure and structured reporting on corporate sustainability and responsibility really matter to investors and key stakeholders?
This and related questions are often hotly debated inside US companies. What is the measurable payoff (if any) for corporate sustainability and responsibility efforts? What is the cost of instituting these programmes? Who really keeps track of this in the capital markets? What is the business case for corporate responsibility? The answers to these questions are explored in the Governance & Accountability Institute’s 2012 analysis of America’s large-cap companies. Non-reporters the minority The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index is a very important investment and “corporate health” benchmark in the US.

Emploi : Prêt de salariés : une solution méconnue pour l'emploi. En temps de crise, des entreprises peuvent mettre leurs salariés à disposition d'autres établissements pour éviter un plan social.
Une alternative que l'entreprise Soitec réitère même si elle est une des rares à le faire en France. En difficulté financière, le producteur de matériaux semi-conducteurs Soitec prévoit de mettre 50 à 70 de ses salariés à disposition d'autres établissements grenoblois d'ici début 2013 dans le cadre d'un accord de méthode. En prêtant temporairement ses employés, l'entreprise compte alléger ses coups fixes, «préserver l'emploi mais aussi les compétences», précise Corinne Margot, DRH de Soitec. «D'un côté, nous pouvons amortir notre baisse d'activité ; de l'autre, nos salariés développent leur employabilité», se félicite-t-elle. Un dispositif méconnu «Sur le papier, l'idée paraît géniale mais ce n'est pas certain que la mise en œuvre soit si simple, analyse Damien Leblond, directeur associé du cabinet de recrutement Selescope.
Why business owners need boards - Triangle Business Journal. The old adage “it’s lonely at the top” applies nowhere better than to running a private company, where CEOs make daily decisions about disciplines in which they have no background.
Having worked with more than 200 private-company owners over the past 25 years, it is my observation that the most-underutilized resource for private companies is a “real” board of directors. Owners who want to maximize the potential of a company and fully enjoy the experience of running a business need to surround themselves with a seasoned, diverse complement of business minds that meet on a regular basis. Most business owners have complete autonomy. In fact, the primary reason many started their own company is that they don’t want anyone looking over their shoulder. However, not only is running a business too complex for any single individual, it is no fun to make decisions in a vacuum over an extended time period.
Business owners succeed because they are really good at something.
