I've been following this for a while and as of last year 130 of the Fortune 500 actually have a C-level or VP-level executive with responsibility for sustainability. Unfortunately while they have a seat at the table, the legs on the chair are short (!) as they don't have much by way of staff or budget (yet). As regulations come on I think that will change.
I got the figure during several conversations and meetings with the CEO of the company that publishes CSR Magazine. It's a good point though...I'll have to see if I can get actual companies / names.

Do you have a source on the 130? That would be a good number to quote.
