Bring value and have a positive impact with CSR

Still wanting to be more than just a company and make a difference in your community?
CSR is the best option for you!

Regardless if they are big global players or small businesses.

With every day, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) gets more important since companies have a huge impact on the community and surrounding environment they are in.

They have to keep in mind what social and ethical, as well as environmental and sustainable impacts their business decisions have, regardless if they are big global players or small businesses.

If the company does it well and achieves their set goals concerning their impacts,

it can improve the company’s image, finances and satisfaction of customers and employees.

CSR is a great way to connect with the local community, to create team building opportunities and to value your employees.

Regardless if they are big global players or small businesses.

The versatility of CSR

There are four different types of CSR you can think about: environmental, philanthropic, ethical and economic.

Care about the environment

Environmental social responsibility describes the dedication and engagement of actions that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Examples include taking care of your carbon footprint and gas emissions, preferring sustainable resources over plastic or reducing water and electricity waste.

Give back to the community

Trying and wanting to actively improve the society as a whole is described as philanthropic social responsibility. This happens mostly through donations to local communities which in turn improves the company’s image.

Donations can be either money, time or in-kind.

Act ethically

Ethical social responsibility is focussing mainly on

human rights like fair treatment, fair trade practices, equal pay just as speaking out against child labor, discrimination in any form and demanding higher wages.

That could be working with local, diverse and socially responsible partners or implementing a code of conduct in your company to prevent discrimination within the team and beyond.

It’s not all about profits

Making financial decisions with the aim of doing good is described as economic social responsibility. In this kind, companies are making investments in educational programs, local charities or alternative energies, to name a few.

That means, prioritizing corporate citizenship instead of focussing only on cost saving and making profit.

However, it doesn’t end here. There are also a few more aspects you can consider when thinking about CSR, like diversity, inclusion, wellbeing, and employee engagement.
