GoodCorporation and BBC Make CSR Programmes

Published 04-23-04

Submitted by GoodCorporation

UK--GoodCorporation and the BBC are making four programmes about corporate responsibility. Three of the programmes will appear on BBC4, the digital television channel. The programmes are divided into the different stakeholder categories in the GoodCorporation standard. The first focuses on employee relationships, the second on the community and environment. The third programme looks at customer, supplier and investor issues. The programmes show how companies deal with corporate responsibility issues and also highlight the role that GoodCorporation plays as a standard and in the process of verification.

The three programmes are being edited to make a fourth programme for BBC Worldwide which covers all the stakeholder groups. The BBC Worldwide programme will be marketed to channels worldwide and also be made into a BBC Worldwide and GoodCorporation video. The video will be accompanied by a booklet on how companies can set up and manage a corporate responsibility programme and how the GoodCorporation standard can be used as a tool to help management to measure and improve corporate responsibility performance.

The programmes feature a number of GoodCorporation clients including ARM, Ladbrokes and DHL. It also includes a number of non-members including Nationwide, Shell and B&Q. The dates for broadcast of programmes have not yet been confirmed.
