CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY WORKSHOP
RATIONALE
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) also called corporate conscience, corporate citizenship or responsible business is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. CSR policy functions as a self-regulatory mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards and international norms. With some models, a firm’s implementation of CSR goes beyond compliance and engages in “actions that appear to further some social good, beyond the interests of the firm and that which is required by law. CSR aims to embrace responsibility for corporate actions and to encourage a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including consumers, employees, investors, communities, and others.
Proponents argue that corporations increase long term profits by operating with a CSR perspective, while critics argue that CSR distracts from business’ economic role. Therefore, this course will help its participants understand CSR as an active part of organisational performance as well as the dynamics of ethical engagement in business.
