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.

The benefits and drawbacks of CSR

Making the business case for CSR

The nuts and bolts of a CSR program

Auditing and reporting on the results a CSR program, including to ethical investors who are looking to measure a company's CSR
