Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility means corporations must show they are doing all they can to be responsible businesses.
A new standard that the Corporate Social Responsibility Accreditation (CSR-Accreditation) Four Pillars of environment, workplace, community and philanthropy support.
CSR-A provides a structure that will help an organisation plan and act responsibly.
A new standard states that social responsibility should be for every organisation. For this to happen, the C in CSR must be more inclusive. ‘Corporate’ excludes many stakeholders, specifically the third and public sectors, sole traders and small SMEs.
We have re-defined the C to be more inclusive; to include Companies, Communities, and Charities.
Social responsibility allows you to enrich the quality of life for all by investing in social value as an essential part of an organisation’s culture.
Providing purpose and impact will ensure a sustainable and profitable business. In addition, it will help to build a better world for future generations by improving the environment and providing a cohesive community to live and work.
It is incredible what many companies are already doing and is not discussed. CSR-Accreditation provides the perfect opportunity for you to tell your business’s positive story.
