Todays post is the first post part of a new topic category here on my blog. The new category will be called “Recommended Websites”.
The reason for me introducing this new category is that there are a lot of interesting and not so interesting websites out there on Sustainability and CSR. And it is extremely time consuming to identify the good and useful ones.
I have spend a lot of time and effort over the past few years to try to find most interesting and useful websites which I would like to share them with you in this upcoming series. I will not only provide you with the link but also a direct quote from the author(s) where possible as well as their social networking details if they have them.
Elaine Cohen’s CSR Reporting Blog
The first blog I would like to recommend in the CSR Reporting blog by Elaine Cohen. This is the direct URL: http://csr-reporting.blogspot.com/
This is how Elaine, the author of the blog describes her blog:
“The CSR Reporting Blog is a window to the world of Sustainability Reporting and CSR best, and worst, practices. Over 3,000 sustainability reports are published each year, but many say that reporting is not useful or effective and that no one reads these reports. The CSR Reporting blog begs to differ, and presents insights on reporting as an essential tool for transparency, accountability and CSR performance management.
The Blog provides authoritative updates, analyses, critical commentary and sometimes a good laugh about Sustainability Reporting, guidance on the value of the reporting process, how to read, write and use reports, and how to read what is not written.”
Where to find Elaine Cohen on the web:

I couldn't agree more Fabian. Elaine's CSR Reporting Blog is not only insightful and chalked full of useful information, it's fun to read. The sub theme of 'chunky monkey' ice cream is just one indicator of her down to earth, clever and accessible approach to blogging.
She's also a social media expert. Not that she advertises herself that way – she is just a natural. Anyone out there who wants to connect with Elaine and discuss CSR reporting should introduce themselves via her twitter handle or on her blog (included above). She pretty much lives the CSR themes of transparency and accessibility.
Great choice for your first site Fabian.
I concur. Elaine's blog is great. She'll knowledgeable, articulate and I enjoy her breezy writing style. I learn something everytime I read one of her posts.
