CSR stands for &#8220;Corporate Social Responsibility&#8221; which is a self-regulatory policy integrated into a company&#8217;s business model. Although first introduced in the 1960&#8217;s, CSR is a subject that has been gaining strength again in the past few years, so much so that many larger companies have hired managers and whole teams in order to keep an active eye on the organization&#8217;s compliance with ethical standards, both internally and externally. CSR is based on the idea that a business&#8217;s success and social welfare are cyclically connected. When a business invests in social good it not only affects the economy and workforce, but also leads to Goodwill for the company and a favorable standing in the eyes of most consumers. And this is becoming more important in today&#8217;s society as Millennials take over as the group controlling the highest percentage of spending power.\u00a0Millennials are viewing charitable giving and volunteer work not as options but as responsibilities, and often make purchasing decisions based on a company&#8217;s social impact. This might come easier for some companies (especially larger ones) than others, so here are a few things your company can do to start strengthening its CSR reputation. Environmental Sustainability An easy, first step is to review your company&#8217;s environmental standing. Recycling, water management and using renewable resources are quick wins for your company and cost next to nothing. A more serious step would be adopting a &#8220;greener&#8221; supply chain, one that cuts down on emissions and aims to minimize its carbon footprint. Using sustainable products in the workplace, cutting down on the use of paper (hello, email!) and exploring the use of renewable energies are other ways to inject sustainability into your organization&#8217;s operations. Support Fair Labor Often times a company&#8217;s operation choices are made with only price in mind. GetContinue reading"}
