Nissan, Honda and BMW languish at the bottom of the table.

The report measures the extent to which companies have built responsible practices into the way they do business and looks at how well they account for the impact of their actions on their stakeholders.
CSR is becoming an increasingly important business area. “One of the fundamental tenets of CSR is that those companies that understand and respond to stakeholders will be able to sense trends, risks and opportunities in the market and gain a long-term competitive advantage,” said CSR network chief consultant Todd Cort.
