The 5 most important events on CSR in 2010 ... ... ... ... ... ... No. 2: Wikileaks
might be one of the news of the year, but do CSR? I think the author, if anything, had to explain that has to do with the Wikileaks Corporate Social Responsibility. The leaks were on diplomatic cables, made by an anonymous collection of individuals unaffiliated business. And it has not yet determined if the leak involves illegal acts.
leaks not confuse transparency. Leaks are leaks in a container with a hole involuntary and generally partial, and in this selective case and according to many, with malice. Transparency is the deliberate release of all relevant information. Compare with Wikileaks Transparency International. Nothing in common.
Wikileaks is not CSR, nor will even leak information of companies. the contrary, the leaks would lead to the parties concerned to be more careful and less revealing.
