The latest annual Ivey/Jantzi report on the state of corporate social responsibility in Canada finds some improvement on last year.

From the press release:

"* Banks continue to top the charts in the corporate governance category, while insurance companies continue a two-year decline

* Despite the attention to diversity initiatives in the past few years, the ratings show that firms are still struggling with this aspect of CSR

* Human rights scores have improved slightly. This increase was driven by more attention to policies and reporting"
