CSR

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility can be considered as an organisation's stated commitments to conducting its business operations operating in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable manner.

These objectives must be balanced carefully against the different stakeholder interests.

The principles of CSR can be considered to cover the many social aspects of organisational governance including:

1 - A commitment to ensuring that business is conducted within ethical standards and expressly within legal guidlines.

2 - The desire to deliver the highest quality of products and services to customers and in doing so establish long lasting relationships.

3 - The active promotion of best practice human resources progammes that make the organisation sought after as a place of work.

4 - To ensure Stakeholders objectives are achieved and that they are informed of all changes in organisational activity, policies and procedures.

5 - Ensure that the quality of working conditions and safety of working environment is maintained to the highest standards.

6 - Contribute to the social fabric of the community and work in partnership with members of the community to develop everyone's living communities.

7 - Improve the environment protecting nature, operate ecologically sound programmes and operational procedures and stimulate educational programmes on the environment and sustainability.

8 - Protect and respect the human rights of employees.

The topic and scope of CSR is evolving and affects every organisation in order for it to interact, compete and contribute in both local and global markets.
