Frequently Asked Questions
What is CSR Software?
Companies are being held to a higher standard socially today than ever before. Consumer and investor actions show that succeeding as a business is more than just turning a profit — it’s also the commitment of a company to ignite their values and mission and amplify the passions of their employees to benefit the communities around them.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) software helps employers fulfill these commitments by facilitating the creation and management of CSR campaigns. These campaigns encourage employees and the business itself to take part in donating to good causes, volunteering in local initiatives, raising funds to support non-profit organizations, and more.
What are the 4 different types of CSR?
In summary, a business’s corporate social responsibility can be broken down into four major categories:
1. Economic responsibility is about a corporation’s commitment to making financial decisions that not only benefit company growth but also benefit the community at large. This impacts everyone from shareholders and employees of the company to customers and society as a whole. As an example, a company can choose to purchase sustainable materials as a commitment to furthering their CSR even when those materials come at a higher cost.
2. Environmental responsibility is a corporation’s commitment to sustainable processes, environmentally-friendly operations, and efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. This is one of the most common forms of CSR, and can range from having an recycling program on-site to pledging a percentage of donations towards tree conservation.
3. Ethical responsibility is the commitment to fair treatment of all parties involved with a company’s affairs (employees, customers, investors, suppliers, etc.). This can also involve the refusal to work with other companies that use exploitative labor practices. Common examples include making sure your vendors/manufacturers are using materials that are ethically sourced and paying a fair wage to employees.
4. Philanthropic responsibility is the company’s commitment to giving back a portion of your profits to a cause or community. Common examples include giving direct donations to non-profit organizations, creating foundations, or sponsoring events and fundraisers.
What is the main purpose of CSR?
Although CSR is a business tactic that helps increase employee engagement and increase sales, the ultimate goal of corporate social responsibility is to distribute the value a company produces with their employees, shareholders, and customers, creating a mutually beneficial relationship between corporations and the communities they serve.
