Our comments:  A detailed case study, hosted by the Canadian government. On the one hand, it has moments of frank acknowledgment of some of the challenges - particularly its discussion of the disconnection between commitment to CSR and the behaviour of the company's share price. On the other, it is all told from the corporate entity's perspective (Telus thinks this, Telus does that) and its length is about covering all the different aspects of the agenda, rather than providing great depth on one. A case study needs to give more than you would find anyway in the CSR report.
