National Hockey League in top 20 of EPA’s Green list. Global first for a sports league! http://bit.ly/1C1Kqns  

Read 2014 NHL Sustainability Report http://bit.ly/1zgieuT  to see more of the league and the team’s sustainability efforts. And, the NHL and its teams and players do even more.

The players, teams and league make a major social impact with their support for communities, youth and causes. And, they do it very quietly and without calling for attention. This analysis argues that they could create more value for themselves if they weren’t so quiet about it. http://bit.ly/1BOqCDZ

CVS continues tobacco free support. Great alignment of social value and corporate core. http://bit.ly/1xtieaq  @EileenBooneCSR @CVSHealth It is great to see companies step up to the plate on creating social value and do it in a smart way.

The CVS contribution of $5 million to Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids is great alignment with their corporate core. It is great to see fewer corporate CSR contributions that look like they were selected on a whim by the CEO’s new mistress! Smart companies align CSR outreach and investments with their corporate core.
