CSR Event

Business/Corporate Social Responsibility (Getting a Program Started at Your Company)

Description:

Corporate Social Responsibility is a concept that corporations have an obligation to consider the interests of customers, employees, shareholders, communities and the environment in all aspects of their operations. Advocates of this idea argue that these obligations extend beyond an organization's statutory responsibility to comply with legislation. CSR is closely linked with the principle of sustainable development, which argues that organizations should make decisions based not only on financial factors such as profits or dividends, but also based on the immediate and long-term social and environmental consequences of their activities.
