10 to Follow: Keep Up with Corporate Responsibility Trends on Twitter

This post is part of a new series that highlights ways to keep up with impact-related issues through social media.

As VP of Public Affairs and Corporate Responsibility at the Campbell Soup Company and President of the Campbell Soup Foundation, Dave Stangis has what you might call a full plate. “Every day brings a new set of issues, challenges, and opportunities,” he says. “It truly is like having a different job every day.... In a given week, I work with every single organization in the company -- from front lines to the board of directors, from enterprise strategy to communications and public policy."

So while he doesn’t have much spare time for Twitter, he does a few “quick scans” each day. “I use Twitter primarily to share ideas and concepts with my network,” Dave says. He also mines his feed “for ideas, innovations, and new ways to approach challenges.” We asked this innovative leader if he’d be willing to share his go-to sources for keeping up with the world of corporate responsibility, and these are his top picks, with notes about how they made his list.

1. MITSloan Mgmt Review ‏@mitsmr – Great business ideas and innovation relevant to sustainability
    
2. TriplePundit.com ‏@TriplePundit  - Especially for cross-sector idea sharing
    
3. Wall Street Journal ‏@WSJ – Still my daily source of business and trends
    
4. Harvard Biz Review ‏@HarvardBiz – Deeper analysis on business issues with people/society impact

9. GreenBiz ‏@GreenBiz – Sharing examples and insight at the intersection of business and sustainability
    
10. As his tenth pick, Dave mentioned that he also follows hundreds of individuals that “serve as periodic idea generators,” including some that are completely unrelated to his sector but are anchored in his personal interest of science and technology.

And, of course, you'll want to follow Dave, too.
