THE BUSINESS CASE FOR CSR/SER

TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE "People, planet and profit"

"People" refers to fair labour practices, the community and region where the business operates.

"Planet" refers to sustainable environmental practices.

Environmental value created by the organization after deducting the cost of all inputs, including the cost of the capital (unlike accounting definitions of profit).

CSR can also help improve the perception of a company among its staff, particularly when staff can become involved through payroll giving, fundraising activities or community volunteering. CSR has been credited with encouraging customer orientation among customer-­facing employees.

HUMAN RESOURCES

A CSR program can be an aid to recruitment and retention, particularly within the competitive graduate student market.

Potential recruits often consider a firm's CSR policy.

Managing risk is an important executive responsibility. Reputations that take decades to build up can be ruined in hours through corruption scandals or environmental accidents. These draw unwanted attention from regulators, courts, governments and media. CSR can limit these risks.

CSR can help build customer loyalty based on distinctive ethical values. Some companies use their commitment to CSR as their primary positioning tool. e.g., The Body Shop

A CSR program can persuade governments and the public that a company takes health and safety, diversity and the environment seriously, reducing the likelihood that company practices will be closely monitored.

Corporations are keen to avoid interference in their business through taxation and/or regulations.

Appropriate CSR programs can increase the attractiveness of supplier firms to potential customer corporations. E.g., a fashion merchandiser may find value in an overseas manufacturer that uses CSR to establish a positive image and to reduce the risks of bad publicity from uncovered misbehaviour.
