Document Highlights

Is corporate social responsibility (CSR) just a fashionable trend to gain respect in a boom economy? Is CSR only about giving money to a good cause? Is CSR the concern of middle managers and not the board or CEO? And does CSR really matter to long-term corporate success?

No longer do corporate leaders view CSR from the narrow perspective of simply giving to good or charitable causes. Today, CSR is seen as a strategic imperative that contributes to corporate success over the long term. This briefing examines how to successfully engage the board in good corporate citizenship.
