From the Author

Corporate social responsibility remains a valid concept.
The concept of social responsibility in business today makes as much sense, and is arguably even more necessary, than it was in 1990 when Mary and I began writing this book. Likewise, the book's premise -- that you *can* treat customers and employees and your community with repect and still make a profit -- remains just as true as on the day we first wrote it.

Synopsis

Profiles twelve American companies with a social conscience, including Patagonia, Esprit, Ben & Jerry's, Celestial Seasonings, and Birkenstock.
