Last week, Greenleaf Publishing announced the publication of The Difference Makers, a history of the corporate responsibility movement through interviews by Boston College’s Sandra Waddock.

KLD co-founders Peter Kinder and Amy Domini, along with former Research Director Steven Lydenberg, were interviewed for the book.

As Prof. Waddock explains in her introduction, the 23 entrepreneurs she studies “represent a unique perspective on the developments that have taken place around corporate responsibility in the past 20-25 years.”

We can propose a 24th “difference maker.” Prof. Waddock herself is a CSR pioneer and a leader of the academic study of corporate responsibility.

As a Professor at Boston College’s Carroll School of Management, the founding faculty member of the Leadership for Change Program at BC’s Center for Corporate Citizenship, co-founder of the CCC’s Institute for Responsible Investment, and the author of eight books, she has made a difference for decades.
