Corporate social responsibility is as applicable to the public sector as the private sector as it goes to the heart of many of the initiatives that are a feature of the Government’s agenda.
Issues such as:
Stakeholder engagement
Inclusion
Consultation
Clients as consumers
Increased communication
Building strong communities
Joined up working and strategic planning
Corporate social responsibility is also relevant to the voluntary sector as the way that an organisation engages with its stakeholders is of paramount importance here too.
Corporate social responsibility seeks to ensure that an organisation’s behaviour in every aspect of what it does is consistent with its ethical stand and values. For companies, it's no good having excellent policies on staff welfare in the UK if employees in the supply chain are subjected to abusive and unsafe conditions. In the same way, voluntary organisations can often run the risk of sending out conflicting messages. It's vital that thorough research underpin any campaign and communication.
For voluntary sector organisations, when researching we turn the tables and endeavour to assess the tools currently being used by the charity to attract corporate partnerships.
