Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) once lived in the back pages of annual reports in the hopes of gaining some PR for a business. However, times have changed as CSR is no longer about just planting trees or donating to a local charity… it’s about how businesses can improve the environments around them.
From how employees are treated, to how your raw materials are sourced, CSR now plays a measurable role in how companies build societal trust, attract prospective employees from the talent pool, and grow in a sustainable fashion.
CSR is about accountability. It’s about making decisions that balance business profit with its purpose. This can come in many forms, such as cutting down emissions, supporting local communities, or electing for suppliers with more ethical practices. CSR isn’t capped at practices such as swapping out single-use plastics on-site. It can extend to hiring from local areas for a new project, or providing wellbeing programs that support your workforce, as they are an extension of their environments.
Clients want to support businesses that care. Employees want to work where their values are reflected and are inclined to stay with a business if their needs are being met. Investors want long-term resilience that aligns with sustainable growth, not just a rapid return that dwindles in the medium-to-long term. By addressing these concerns, a business can reduce reputation risk and strengthen stakeholder relationships, allowing people to trust your business and stick with it.
FlexManager’s CSR module is part of the Eco-compliance solution, enabling companies to identify the areas they wish to support from a corporate and location-based level. This allows for relative comparison on locations/areas, but also a global feed of CSR activities through the company.
Target vs Actual stats can be reported, with unique project actions being laid out for them. A business can then communicate all the contributions that are being made for the betterment of the community and workforce.
CSR isn’t just for the headlines, it’s for the people who walk onto your sites, the communities you build in, and the world we all share. It is not about perfection, just having intent and awareness for the betterment of the wider world. At the end of the day, doing good is good business.
