CSR in Canada, Part Four: Natural Resources Management

In “CSR in Canada, Part Four,” Lorraine Smith, Director, SustainAbility, describes the main business of Canada as exports of natural resources: oil, gas, minerals, timber, and agricultural products.

So the focus of Canadian CSR is often on “social responsibility” rather than “corporate.” The fourth in a four-segment interview series.
