“The Annual Global Issues Index is an eye-opening look at the most important issues that populations online are searching for. For the first time, we can clearly see what social issues people care about the most in their country, and what organizations are doing to address those issues based on the popularity of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. The AGII is the perfect destination for anyone concerned about the state of the world, and for organizations deciding what issues they can and should prioritize from a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) perspective.”
