Corporate Social Responsibility and Ethical Business
Ranked #38 in Business & Work, #3,032 overall
This is the Age of Philosophy!
Looking back, the swinging sixties and early seventies may be viewed as the age of Sociology (hippies and free spirit); the late seventies and early eighties arguably gave way to the Economics era (Thatcherism, Conservatism and the consumer society); in turn the late eighties and nineties may be seen to have heralded the age of Psychology (personal development, expression of feelings and nurturing oneself to the best one could be - people openly had counselling and started talking freely about stress). So what of the noughties? It is now time for Philosophy to have its day!
Spiritual, religious, ethical and moral issues are now being given great weight and consideration. There is pressure to rediscover family values, what is really important in life. Human rights, diversity, equality, fair trade, medical ethics and green issues are fundamental considerations today. Businesses are under pressure to be fair and ethical to satisfy not only government standards, but also consumers, and additionally, to attract more discerning employees. CSR is now seen by companies as an important way to increase competitive advantage, protect and raise brand awareness and build trust with customers and employees.
Natasha, Civil Servant says:
"In government we have seen lots of people moving across from the private sector - yes, there are still jobs - but people, especially those with families - want to contribute to improving the communities we live in. For instance, developing programmes to reduce knife crime, or create a stronger NHS, or giving children a better start in life. However, many people moving to CSR or joining govt from the sector private sector arrive and experience a culture shock. They expect it to be gentler, reflecting a lower salary package. However, it's probably more like taking a religious vocation! Those who enter have to give 100% to it - that might mean cancelling personal commitments to deliver campaigns to challenging deadlines. For instance, I know several CSR teams who are expected to drop everything at 7pm and stay behind to 11pm, even over Christmas holidays to deliver campaigns. It might sound like a one off example but it's quite normal behaviour across various parts of CSR. They are driven by knowing they will make a difference. Also, ethics stretch (funding, power imbalances etc even in CSR!)"

Contents at a Glance
What is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Ethical business?
* CSR considers people external to the firm - perhaps working in partnership with local communities and development groups, e.g. sponsoring local events or ensuring opportunities are advertised locally, or funding charity campaigns abroad.
* CSR involves socially responsible investment (SRI) and indeed governance (complying with relevant legislation and paying taxes in full)
* Ethical businesses demonstrate real concern and respect for:
- employees (training, development, rewards, work-life balance, incentives, perks)
- customers (safe, quality, value for money products and good customer service)
- suppliers (fair trade policies, encouraging cooperatives amongst growers, avoiding child labour etc.)
* Ethical businesses are green and show concern for environmental protection and sustainability. They are conscious of carbon footprint, energy efficiency, recycling and paper-free issues etc.
Wikipedia definitions:
What skills or competencies would be required for a CSR role?
Roles and responsibilities vary so much it is hard to be sure (some a very green and technical, others are more PR oriented):* Business Skills, Impact and Vision ( decision making, leadership, commercial awareness, IT, innovation, strategic awareness, big picture, and problem solving)
* Communication, Influencing and People skills (adaptability, empathy, developing others and self, presence and softer people skills, open minded and questioning of status quo and others, integrity, political awareness, building teams, partnerships & stake-holder relations, harnessing diversity)
* Professional and Technical skills (including technical expertise, understanding impacts, internal consultancy, selling the business case, understanding human rights and society, and understanding sustainability).
Ethics in work
On my lens Choosing and Changing Career at any Age or Stage, there is a poll asking what is important for people in their work, e.g. creativity, active element, money; it is interesting and indeed reassuring to note that 'Ethical component' remains the primary motivator. Restores your faith in human nature, doesn't it?

Listen to the experts on Corporate Social Responsibility
Where might one work?
Anywhere and everywhere! Private or public sector, international and not-for-profit concerns all need to consider CSR, yet not all have recognisable CSR departments or functions, and job titles may vary greatly (CSR may fall under the remit of HR, marketing, public affairs or environmental management etc). Specialist Corporate Social Responsibility Consultancies are rapidly on the increase too. Companies are under pressure from the Government, European and International concerns to take CSR seriously:The UK government has outlined its Vision for CSR
The Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (formally the DTI) have also been involved in the creation of the CSR Academy , a resource for organisations of any size and sector wanting to develop their corporate social responsibility skills.
CSR Europe is the leading European business network for corporate social responsibility with around 70 multinational corporations and 25 national partner organisations as members.
The United Nations have launched the Global Compact an initiative to convince international companies to commit to universal principles regarding protection of human rights, labour rights and the environment.

Courses and Training in Corporate Social Responsibility
There is no such thing as a typical career path in CSR and there is no single professional body at present that represents the needs and interests of all those working in the field. A recent government study concludes that this is due to the diverse disciplines involved and also the complexity of the roles and responsibilities of a CSR practitioner. Specialist consultants may be needed to establish strategies, but then managers with CSR competencies will required to make the strategies work.Because it is so new, transferable skills and knowledge from other related specialisms such as environmental management, ethical finance, marketing, PR and HR, are valued. There are no specific qualifications required for this field but Universities and Business Schools are introducing CSR components to their undergraduate, masters and MBA courses.

- Lots of work went into this lens. Some businesses still do not realize that operating ethically and in an eco-friendly way will keep customers coming back. Furthermore, it is really not that hard (nor more expensive) to do. It's about changing habits and educating employees. Great lens!

- It's time that all business operate ethically and take responsibility for the impact they have on the environment. It's businesses that are profiting from the earth's resources and the communities they operate in, so it only seems fair that some of those profits should go towards CSR projects.
Great collection of resources on CSR and great lens.

- unfortunately, corporations have too much leverage over our governments. Corporations sole responsibility is to maximise profits. It's up to government to set the rules in which they can do that, in order to protect the environment and human rights. However when our system is set up so that legislation gets written by big business, all those constraints get stripped away. The rich get rich, the rest of us, and the planet, get screwed
