What is Corporate Social Responsibility?
And why does it matter to you – and me? Corporate Social Responsibility, or CSR, is founded in the belief that businesses can achieve greater long-term success by considering the interests of society in addition to their own needs for immediate, short-term profit.
Sustainable business practices are in the news a lot. CSR includes sustainability, as well as other quality of life issues for employees, their families, and the surrounding communities.
Being self-employed gives me the opportunity not only to run my own business in a socially responsible manner, but also to influence the business practices of the broker with which I work. It also allows me to live my values, and choose to work with clients who share them.
It is my belief that home buyers and sellers who share my values – conscious consumers of realty services – will choose to work with me and recommend me to their friends, relatives, and co-workers.
Like what you’re hearing? Wikipedia has an excellent article on Corporate Social Responsibility (http://www.wikipedia.org), including an interesting analysis that explains some of the criticism of CSR and the companies that claim to practice it. | |
