"In reality, what is CSR, does my company need to join?"
CSR is a process by which companies can manage their relationships with a wide variety of influential stakeholders who can have real influence on their continuous successful operation. CSR is about building relationships with consumers, attracting and retaining talented staff, managing risk and assuring reputation.
CSR contributes to the five drivers of productivity namely, investment, innovation, skills, enterprise and competition.
CSR is the business contribution to sustainable development. If managed well it is good for long-term business as well as good for wider society.
As a local society we need to tackle inequality and deprivation in communities across Buckinghamshire now as a future investment and that's where local businesses can help. Encouraging local businesses to help tackle social exclusion and build stronger healthier communities will in the longer term develop local businesses that gain through new market opportunities and consumers.
Increasing awareness of CSR issues among the workforce in general also means local companies with a good CSR record will attract and retain the best people.
