CED has released a new report, Rebuilding Corporate Leadership: How Directors Can Link Long-Term Performance with Public Goals. The report concludes that corporate boards and the leaders they select must integrate relevant societal concerns, such as environmental and human rights considerations, into corporate strategy, to strengthen long-term competitiveness and the sustainability of both the corporation and the society in which it exists.
The report was released on February 18, 2009 in New York City at a Forum that featured a keynote speech by CED Trustee William H. Donaldson
