- October 20, 2008 - CSRwire, the leading source for corporate social responsibility news and information is expanding its services internationally with the launch of CSRwire Canada, a Canadian-focused CSR news distribution network.

The expansion marks CSRwire's approaching ten-year anniversary and comes at a time when more organizations than ever are looking for ways to reach the targeted CSR audience in their country. CSRwire currently reaches more than a million readers in over 200 countries.

CSRwire Canada is the most comprehensive way to reach Canadian-focused journalists, investors, analysts, academics, activists, public relations and investor relations professionals who are working in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility. News releases will be distributed through the CSRwire Canada website at ca.csrwire.com and will be included in a CSRwire Canada News Alert with immediate, daily and weekly alerts, in addition to a live news feed to a syndication network of Canadian-focused CSR and socially responsible investing (SRI) sites.

"As CSRwire has grown, more people from countries outside the U.S. have been using us than ever before," says CSRwire COO Greg Schneider. "A significant increase in CSRwire useage by organizations and readers from Canada made CSRwire Canada an obvious next step for our international expansion and continues to support our mission of raising awareness for good corporate citizenship throughout the world."

CSRwire has been working with Canadian Business for Social Responsibility (CBSR) to expand distribution and inform organizations about the service. CSRwire Canada will be launched officially at the CBSR conference today in Toronto.

"Great partnerships such as the one with CBSR are a natural and easy fit when a common mission and vision are shared. We are proud to be working with CBSR, who have long been leaders in providing expert CSR counsel and guidance to Canadian businesses," Schneider says.

CSRwire Canada is the first of several internationally focused sites set to launch. CSRwire is currently evaluating potential partnerships with organizations throughout the EU and beyond who are leaders in their field and passionate about corporate social responsibility. The UK, Greece and other sites are currently under construction.
