Study trends in CSR performance
Use KLD’s longitudinal data to conduct analysis of time-series trends and regression analysis as compared to traditional financial or other indicators. 

Support case studies and student projects
According to Beyond Grey Pinstripes, the proportion of business schools requiring one or more courses in ethics, CSR, sustainability or business and society has increased from 34% in 2001 to 54% in 2005. Of Business Week’s top 20 schools, 75% required CSR-related coursework.  Make KLD STATS and SOCRATES available for students and faculty in your business school library to support in-depth research on company-specific corporate social responsibility issues.

Research Future Employers
Having SOCRATES in your career center allows you to meet the increasing interest of students to evaluate both the employee benefit programs and the social and environmental impact of future employers.
Incorporate CSR factors into the investment process for your endowment
SOCRATES allows investment professionals to screen portfolios for controversial business issues or poor social and environmental performers.  You can also use SOCRATES to identify best-in-class performance with respect to charitable giving, diversity, employee benefits, alternative energy, and strong environmental management systems.
