Far more American consumers consider the way companies treat their employees a good indicator of their social conscience than their philanthropy, according to a survey by the National Consumers League and Fleishman-Hillard, the public relations company.

Only 3 percent identified charitable donations as the chief determinant of a company's social responsibility."
