TAKE ACTION

“Businesses that recognize the importance of social responsibility often have employees who tend to be more satisfied with their jobs, adopt similar values, and become more committed to achieving success within the industry.” 

– Nick Starritt

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

With Seven Hills Global Outreach, your company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) development is streamlined for corporate efficacy, financial success, and global impact through transparent advising, consulting, and implementation in partnership with SHGO. From identifying worthy global causes and completing due diligence, to facilitating and promoting your company’s personalized CSR scheme, SHGO collaborates with companies to facilitate a triple-bottom line: payoff for your planet, people, and profit.

WHAT IS CSR?

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is truly “the business contribution to sustainable development.” CSR hinges on the notion of businesses and corporations working to “achieve the integration of economic, environmental, and social imperatives.” (Strategis, 2003). CSR can also take the form(s) of:

  • A corporate investment – financial or otherwise - to support global social, environmental, and economic needs outside the company’s business goals.

  • An organizational culture of ‘giving back,’ with policies to encourage socially responsible values for employees.

  • An internal CSR strategy to empower employees, paired with an external CSR strategy to address challenges in the global community.

  • Volunteering, donating, engaging in hand-on experiences, and taking action – locally and internationally.

Contact SHGO to set up a consultation for your company, and to learn more.

HOW CAN MY COMPANY BENEFIT FROM CSR?

Promoting CSR at your company not only augments your bottom line, but gives way to a ‘triple-bottom line’—benefitting your planet, people, and profit.  In today’s challenging times, “social investments and giving back to communities is the right thing to do-“ notes Kathy Mulvany, Senior Director of Corporate Affairs at Cicso Systems—“And, it’s also very good for business.” In leveraging CSR, SHGO guides your company through the process of creating ‘shared value’ to serve your business and financial goals, while addressing social, environmental, and economic challenges in our increasingly-connected and globalized world.
