Press Release: Accountability, The Global Leadership Network, The Center for Corporate Citizenship at Boston College 
 
The Centre for Corporate Citizenship at Boston College and AccountAbility have joined forces with nine of the world's top performing companies to form the Global Leadership Network. This international network will focus on the crucial question of what constitutes world-class performance in corporate citizenship.
 
Collectively, this important group of companies - IBM, General Electric, FedEx, Cargill, 3M, Diageo, Omron, Manpower, and General Motors - represent more than $544 billion in annual revenues, employ some 1.4 million people and have multi-national operations that span the globe.
 
"These are best-in-class companies who have been practicing corporate citizenship activities for years," said Steve Rochlin, Director of Research and Policy Development for The Center for Corporate Citizenship at Boston College. "Their willingness to share their experiences will have a significant impact on other companies, especially those with fewer resources or those who have been late to recognize the importance of integrating corporate responsibility measures into their core business strategy."
