Overview of corporate social responsibility
Today, consumers are increasingly demanding accountability from
progressive businesses. In light of this, companies must place a greater
emphasis on corporate social responsibility now than ever before. A good
business is no longer defined solely by its financial success. With the internet
allowing for greater transparency than ever before, a good business must also
act in good, responsible ways for society. Companies often use their corporate
social responsibility program to give back to the community.
Facts and Figures
Following an amendment to the Companies Act, 2013, in April
2014, India became the first country to make corporate social
responsibility (CSR) mandatory. As part of any CSR compliance,
businesses can invest their profits in education, poverty, gender
equality, and hunger.
According to a 2015 survey by Nielsen, more than 50% of
consumers are willing to pay more for a product or service if the
business prioritizes sustainability.
Four Types of Corporate Responsibility Your
Company Can Engage In
Environmental initiatives:
Volunteering:
Philanthropy
Ethical labour practises
Conclusion
Even the most minor initiative by the company can impact a
community. Donating money or resources to charities can make a
significant difference, but small businesses and startups may not be
able to do so. Companies can begin by organising small fundraising
events, encouraging volunteering, developing a social mission and
clear goals, implementing employee education programmes, or
collaborating with businesses with similar mindsets.
Involve the employees in the decision-making process when
identifying and launching a CSR initiative. Create an internal team to
lead the efforts and identify organisations or causes relevant to the
company or that employees care deeply about. When companies
contribute something important to their employees, it will increase
engagement and success. Involving employees in decision-making can
also provide the team with better clarity and assurance.
