I am very pleased to announce the launch of 2010 Corporate Responsibility Salary Survey Report. The CR Salary Survey, now in its third year, aims to add clarity and transparency to the roles, salaries and backgrounds of the professionals working in this space.

This year, we’ve took the survey global. The Report now provides the most timely and accurate picture of how the industry looks on the ground, from those people working day-to-day in Corporate Responsibility around the world.

The online survey was completed by nearly 600 CR professionals worldwide through out January and February and this year’s results are some of the most exciting ever. Here is a snapshot from the Report:

- 595 people participated in the survey: 72% describing themselves as working in-house and the remainder working as consultants for external clients
- 46% participants live in the UK, 25% in North America, 16% in the Rest of Europe and 13% from Rest of the World (South America, Africa, Asia and Australia).
- While women continue to outnumber men in the sector (56% of participants were female). There is no evidence that the pay gap identified in previous surveys is narrowing.
- Median salary fell within a range of $85-90k, with highest average salaries in North America
- Top 5 job functions for those working in-house: Reporting, Environment, Community Investment, Climate Change and Stakeholder Engagement
- Top 5 job functions for consultants: Reporting, Audit/Assurance, Stakeholder Engagement, Climate Change and External Marketing
- Respondents appear to be satisfied with their jobs and 80% felt as or more secure in their role compared with 12 months ago
