That said, CSR is a way for companies to benefit themselves while also benefiting society. When I define CSR to the uninitiated, I typically get three reactions. Some say, \u201cIsn\u2019t that a bunch of greenwashing?\u201d Others use a non-so-nice word to describe male bovine excrement instead of greenwashing. Still others say my definition sounds like an inspiring call to action to soothe the ills of capitalism. Then there are those who say CSR is like a begrudging call to Woodstock to sing Kumbaya \u2013 something only \u201chippies\u201d could dream up.<\/p>\n So what\u2019s a CSR professional supposed to do when faced with such a varied response? Typically, I step on top of my soapbox to declare the six business reasons why companies should embrace corporate social responsibility. Companies that \u201cget it\u201d are the ones that are using CSR (or sustainability as I prefer to call it) as a way to push the following business processes into the organization:<\/p>\n To be clear, these are the reasons why most companies should enact CSR. In truth, companies often become involved in CSR for different reasons, which I\u2019ll write about in future posts.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t to say that CSR is the panacea to the world\u2019s problems. But it certainly does start to move the needle toward an economy that is much closer to one where I would like to conduct business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/csr\/2012\/02\/21\/six-re… Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is not going to solve the world\u2019s problems.
