This report states that CSR aware companies have positive effect on their employees' motivation.
It's an open door to say that motivated workers are happier and more productive.
Another report is from KPMG: International Survey of Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting
More and more companies embrace CSR policy.
Company performance is measured and widely available in (economic) databases, but where can we find CSR data?
One of the concerns on the reliability
of ESG databases. A couple ESG relevant ratings indexes, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, the FTSE4Good Index and the MSCI ESG Indices.
I made an earlier attempt (march 2015) to provide an overview of sustainability datbases. You can find it here . Specifically, I also made a post on DJSI (jan. 2016)
Library of Calgary University provides a list link
