Scotsman.com Business - Top Stories - No prods necessary for businesses to behave responsibly: "No prods necessary for businesses to behave responsibly

PAUL STOKES

IT IS hard to move in Edinburgh at this time of year without some corporate acting in a manner that can only be described as downright socially responsible. Hardly a ballet shoe is laced, bow put to string, filthy joke told or bum placed on seat without the generous financial assistance of one of the capital's capitalists.

The Bank of Scotland is subsidising Swan Lake, while the Royal is funding cut-price tickets for hordes of teenage lovers of opera and theatre. Standard Life is putting its money into Nuts CocoNuts, something which will probably not surprise its policyholders."
