Industry & trade association websites:

• often contain industry news & information - some content may only be available to members
• parts of the website to look for: news, research, resources, library, data, or other tabs.

To find relevant industry websites:

• Do a Google Advanced Search, structured in the form: industry description + association
  • coffee + association
• To limit results to domains ending in .org, add site:.org to a Google search
  • apparel + association site:.org

A company's website often includes an "about us" section. In addition, look for sections on the website such as:

• news
• annual reports - a self-reported history about themselves
• investor information or relations

Remember a company will explain itself in the best possible light & will have a natural bias in the information it presents.
