The people surveyed were “influential citizens,” defined as the 10-15% percent of the population who initiate change, not including elected officials.

Those surveyed from America, the UK, Canada, and Germany believe that corporations should play as much of a role as their governments in preserving the environment and acting to reduce poverty.
