STEPHEN HAHN-GRIFFITHS & CATHERINE BLADES - SHOCKING FINDINGS ABOUT EQUAL PAY REVEALED IN NEW CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY SURVEY

74% SAY THEY WOULD NOT FORGIVE A COMPANY FOR PAYING WOMEN LESS THAN MEN FOR THE SAME WORK

A surprising new survey on corporate responsibility found that equal pay is the NUMBER ONE concern among consumers, basically concluding that a business cannot be ethical and pay women less than men for the same job. The annual Corporate Social Responsibility Survey from Aflac found that 74% of respondents said they would not forgive a company for paying women less than men for the same work. In fact, more than 50% said that they would drive further and pay more to do business with a company they perceive as responsible.

Stephen Hahn-Griffiths of the Reputation Institute and Catherine Blades of Aflac’s will examine the study results and why it pays to practice Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The annual survey is a scientific study on corporate social responsibility with more than 1,400 consumers and investors sharing their views on corporate integrity, philanthropy and how it might influence their decisions.
