Cadbury Schweppes Performs Well in Business in The Community's First Corporate Responsibility Index
13 May 2003
Cadbury Schweppes' commitment to corporate responsibility was recognised with the company's second quintile ranking in Business in the Community's first ever Corporate Responsibility Index published yesterday. This new Index is the first authoritative, voluntary benchmark of responsible business practice. It provides a structured way of measuring and reporting on corporate responsibility activities and is a useful benchmark to help plan and target our activities even more effectively in the future.
Welcoming the launch of the Index, John Sunderland, CEO of Cadbury Schweppes, said, "We are delighted to be founder contributors to the Corporate Responsibility Index. We have long recognised the interdependence between our success and the health of the wider economy and the communities in which we operate. The Index represents a significant step forward in the management and development of the relationship between business, society and the environment."
