Public Expects Companies to Take More Social Responsibility Say CEOs
McKinsey & Co. survey of nearly 400 CEOs says the public is demanding more social accountability by corporations.

That's the percentage of CEOs who say society wants companies to take on greater public responsibility than five years ago, according to a McKinsey & Co. survey of 391 CEOs (PDF format) at companies in 23 industries on six continents.
