Corporate Social Responsibility Categories
The Value of CSR Categories
CSRwire dramatically extends the reach of its content by tagging it in specific Corporate Social Responsibility categories that are picked up by diverse media outlets. By designating a category tag for a CSR event announcement or video material and by choosing two category tags for each of their press releases, Members can bring their corporate social responsibility and sustainability news to the attention of the most relevant audiences. Category tags also make socially responsible information on CSRwire more easily accessible and navigable for those with specific interests. Our site features category-specific pages. You can elect to subscribe to category-specific CSR News Alerts or receive category-specific RSS feeds.
