Analyst Comments
Dexia Group has a respectable 2006 report. They include initiatives for most of the issues they discuss, and seem to be committed to taking action towards environmental neutrality. Their main weakness was the lack of labor or waste statistics. Their human rights section is strong, and they are involved in carbon banking, microfinance, and eco-friendly investment. Overall the report is strong, and the company was quick and responsive to a problem acessing the report on their website. Analyzed by William P. Alston, and posted to the web on 7/12/2007.
