CSR / CSG / ESG

Are we referring to hugging trees

 or

 are we debating the value of living responsibly on this planet, personally and as businesses?

The Debate is ongoing and improving …

 CSR -  Corporate Social Responsibility  - 

 Also known as

 CSG – Corporate Sustainability Governance

and

ESG – Enviromental Social Governance

 “CSR is about how companies manage the business processes to produce an overall positive impact on society”  -  Mallenbaker.net

 “Corporate Social Responsibility is the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large”  -  “Making Good Business Sense” by Lord Holme and Richard Watts 

 Definitions as different as “CSR is about capacity building for sustainable livelihoods. It respects cultural differences and finds the business opportunities in building the skills of employees, the community and the government” from Ghana, through to “CSR is about business giving back to society” from the Phillipines.

 “A concept whereby companies decide voluntarily to contribute to a better society and a cleaner environment. A concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis” - European Commission

 Sustainability

 “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” – World Commission on Environment and Development 

 Achieving sustainability will enable the Earth to continue supporting human life as we know it.
