Export Development Canada (EDC), Canada's export credit agency, has issued its fourth Annual Report on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) available in English at www.edc.ca/csrreport2007 and in French at www.edc.ca/rapportrse2007
The report summarizes EDC’s performance in meeting its CSR commitments in five key areas: the environment, business ethics, transparency, community investment and organizational climate. “The more business we do around the world, the more we see that sustained success comes from doing business responsibly. This is why we have embedded CSR as an operating principle at EDC, and why our practices and policies continue to evolve and grow,” said Eric Siegel, President and CEO of EDC.
The report highlights EDC initiatives such as:
