Corporate Social Responsibility

Today’s shareholders, customers and other stakeholders expect Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives to be part of your reporting, compliance and disclosure communications strategy and public relations efforts.

What is Corporate Social Responsibility?

Corporate Social Responsibility encourages awareness of the economic, social and environmental impact organizations have on society. Not only holding a company accountable to itself, CSR creates accountability to shareholders and stakeholders, as well as the public. It also empowers employees to do social good and embrace diversity.

A broad concept, CSR can take many forms depending on the organization and industry. Broken into four main areas, CSR often targets environmental issues, ethical responsibilities, philanthropy and financial responsibilities.

When CSR practices are successful, organizations can benefit from improved brand recognition, increased interest from investors, a boost in employee morale, risk mitigation and more.
