A concise example of a failure in corporate citizenship. I enjoy @Nike running shoes but not at the cost of human suffering. #CSR #Sustainability #stakeholdercapitalism

@MaxCRoser @jasonhickel @guardian Great addition to the discussion. Transparency in methodology and an understanding/acknowledgment of context are key to reliable #DataScience

Your article https://t.co/5yQq5eZos3 provides both. Thank you.

[Taylor R. Gray, Ph.D. @ObjRealities]

Thanks to @jasonhickel in @guardian for an excellent example of how data can hide just as much as it can reveal https://t.co/IP281fMkC5

#Data is information but it is not necessarily Truth

[Taylor R. Gray, Ph.D. @ObjRealities]

Absolutely—the social and economic spheres of modern life are truly inseparable— and it is time we acted as such. #CSR #ESG https://t.co/sBLVhoVmgV

Larry is right on - Society is demanding that companies, both public and private, serve a social purpose. https://t.co/qZ9cUnYW3b

With data from @CDHoweInstitute ...tax regime does not look inviting in Atlantic Canada, especially #nbpoli https://t.co/uhLluLKXTm

Only "unfair" if you view progress as zero-sum game of Business vs. Society instead of holistic and positive-sum Business & Society #CSR https://t.co/NKjZtpcbdU

For those looking for more evidence of value of #ESG and #Sustainability... Note the paper uses @SASB approach for information materiality https://t.co/h2drAJkS2L

#GHG from global econ. activity using products of these corps.--Divestiture not as impactful as presented. #Climate https://t.co/eReGerYbEZ

[Taylor R. Gray, Ph.D. @ObjRealities]

Why is transparency important in #CSR and #ESG reporting? B/c methods to achieve reported results are often more telling than the results.

[Taylor R. Gray, Ph.D. @ObjRealities]

Good #climate and #Sustainability PR is worth the transparency it takes to support it-otherwise it is a string of empty words. https://t.co/WrlxH5WFTG

[Taylor R. Gray, Ph.D. @ObjRealities]

Materiality of #ESG factors varies across time frames; no single rating will capture all factors & all time frames https://t.co/VYLAVnlKHz

[Taylor R. Gray, Ph.D. @ObjRealities]

Especially businesses that can define #sustainability in an inclusive and actionable manner...and then deliver transparent results #ESG #CSR https://t.co/qrd1qPBjLN
