Demographic and technological changes also can stimulate demand for CSR attributes. The rapid rise in the number of working women has resulted in an increase in the demand for corporate-supplied day care, flexible work schedules , and telecommuting.
On the supply side, the rise of the internet has made it much easier for firms to target consumers who have social goals.
This is evident in the substantial growth in the number of web sites devoted to CSR activity.
These have dramatically reduced the cost of transmitting CSR information to consumers and other interested stakeholders.
Examples include the Toyota and Honda web sites, which are devoted to information about their electric cars.
On the demand side, the internet makes it easier for groups who share common social goals to exchange information. For example, there are virtual communities (geocities) for those outside the mainstream of society.
