		<description>Hi Britt,

Good point - that&#039;s why it&#039;s important that what they&#039;re doing relates to their core business as well. That&#039;s why female-oriented companies like clothing stores or cosmetics chains tend to raise money for breast cancer research - it gets the attention of their target market. Even better, they can make it one of their core values, like the Body Shop has.

More consumers are now getting online to check what companies are doing, and more directories are emerging to help them make choices. 

Cheers for the comment!</description>

		<description>It absolutely looks better when a company gives back to the community or has a really strong ‘green’ way of producing, but how is any consumer going to know the company does those things if the company doesn’t advertise the fact heavily.  I doubt the majority of consumers are reading the company’s do-gooder press releases on the internet.</description>
