Doing good is good business - March 2020

CSR Accreditation – Showing what good looks like

It is now more important than ever to show that we are doing everything we can to improve the world we live in for future generations,
not only by reducing the negative impact we have on the environment, but by building a better and cohesive society.
 
CSR-A provides the perfect opportunity to tell your positive story.
We will show you how to audit, benchmark and report on your corporate and social responsibility. 
 
It’s amazing what we are already doing that we don’t talk about.

Some of the clear benefits of CSR

  • Positive business reputation 
  • Builds customer engagement 
  • Encourages employee engagement and team building 
  • Greater ability to attract talent and retain staff 
  • More likely to attract Investment 
  • Essential for tendering 
  • Improved PR and Marketing – positive story telling. 

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become one of the standard business practices of our time. For companies committed to CSR it means kudos and an enhanced overall reputation – a powerful statement of what they stand for in an often cynical business world.

A good CSR policy connects you with the community that surrounds you, ensures you act responsibly with regard to the environment and helps you value and look after your staff while ensuring that your products and services are delivered ethically and responsibly. 

“Over 70% of students actively look for an organisations CSR policy before accepting a job offer or applying for a job.”

“81% of millennials expect their favourite companies to make public declarations of their CSR”

“One of the US’s most powerful business groups has abandoned the shareholder-first idea. The Business Round-table said the pursuit of shareholder interests is no longer the central purpose of corporate America. Companies should focus on social responsibilities as well as profits.”

“87% of consumers would purchase a product based on a company supporting a social or environmental issue the consumer cares about.”
