[DOC] First Watch-Dog Report on CSR in Israel [executive summary]

On January 10, 2010, the Legal Clinic for Corporate Social Responsibility in the Academic Center of Law & Business (Ramat-Gan, Israel) held a conference on the issue of Practices of CSR in Israel… The conference accompanied the publication of a special watch-dog report which critically analyzed CSR practices of 12 leading companies in Israel, from a various range of activities (Bagir, Cellcom, Egged, Intel Israel, Leumi Bank, Leumi Card, Partner [Orange, part of France Telecom], Paz, Reshet, Strauss Group and Israel Airport Authority). The report "Yes, it's our business!" offered, for the first time in Israel, a civil society perspective on notions of CSR. The report…found problematic practices among most of the companies, particularly in the fields of workers’ rights, women's representation and disabled rights.
