Grr.
Grr. My entry just got deleted because of an internet malfunction, so let me briefly recap. Today has been spent on thesis work. First, I reviewed the 17-page literature review and made sure it was cogent and well-organized. Second, I read several articles that made me want to take a nap (like environmental accounting, arguments for/against corporate citizenship, etc.). I valiantly resisted the urge to sleep and instead exchanged emails with GRI, who provided me with a list of 2004 GRI reporters--all 441 of them. For the grand finale, I spent two hours looking up each individual company on Hoovers to determine if it was publicly traded, and if so, what exchange and ticker it used.
By 10 p.m. I decided it was time for a break, so Roya and I watched an episode of Alias. We've taken to watching several episodes a week. Roya's never seen the show, so she's quite excited, and I'm just happy to space out in front of the computer.
Now its just after 11 p.m. and I'm back at the computer. I still have just over 200 companies to look up. I'm hoping that the expanded list (with securities information) will be helpful when it comes time to look for a correlation between sustainability reporting and economic performance.
