An article on the Fortune website of CNN Money discusses the fact that many corporate social responsibility programs in large companies are surviving despite budget cuts in other areas caused by the current recessionary times.

Many corporate leaders are of the view that CSR is for the long haul, and understand that you can’t just do social responsibility in good times and drop it when they are bad.  Instead, now more than ever, is the time for a company to show its true commitment to corporate social responsibility jobs and initiatives by sticking to their programs during these tough times.

Some may say it’s a way to distinguish a business’s authenticity in relation to corporate social responsibility.

Not long after writing the introduction to Corporate Social Responsibility Jobs and stating that pursuing a career in this area was a real option, here is a report about the creation and appointment of a very senior position at the Campbell Soup Company dedicated to corporate social responsibility.

The position titled: Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility, will be filled by Mr David P. Stangis who was formerly charged with the role of Global Director of Corporate Responsibility at computer chip maker Intel for 8 years.

Significantly, in the recently release results of the 2008 Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (which become effective on 22 September), Intel was listed as the Technology Supersector Leader and the only United States based company to be listed as a Supersector Leader (the index contains 19 Supersectors).  It is the eighth year in a row Intel has been the Technology Supersector Leader, and Mr Stangis was at the CSR helm for most of them. 

Which begs the question, can he do the same for Campbell?  Just may be…Mr Stangis is quoted in the Business Wire press release saying “Campbell is an iconic company with all the ingredients to become a global benchmark in CSR. I look forward to taking on that challenge for the company.”
