Author Description

The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) involves the adoption of an ethical approach by companies to their business operations, including awareness of environmental impacts and good working practices, as well as the need for engagement with local communities and greater transparency in governance. Produced by the CSR Academy (a business support initiative established by the DTI), this publication sets out the first dedicated CSR competency framework for managers and it contains guidance designed to help managers make CSR an integral part of their business practice, regardless of the organisation's size or type of market.
