Nick Ball of G4S Technology explores how an effective CSR initiative should start with a management approved CSR Policy, which clearly states the intentions of the business, with respect to its contribution to the wider community and environment.
As a guide, the following elements could be regarded as constituting a solid CSR Policy:
- Promote good governance - Ensure your organisation complies with relevant legislation.
- Look after employees - Support and motivate employees to make changes.
- Support local community - Look for ways your organisation can interact.
- Protect environment - Reduce resource consumption and waste disposal.
- Manage suppliers - Ensure objectives are delivered throughout the supply chain.
- Engage stakeholders - Encourage feedback to ensure the policy reflects current interests.
Many may seem like common sense, although it is amazing how implementing small changes can affect the way people consider their own actions and help support others through the process.
