Why should you care about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for your company?
In a 2010 survey about CSR, the following results were found:
- Consumers are much more likely to purchase products with “added social benefit”
- Reading about CSR on the corporate website drives purchases
- Almost 8 in 10 employees are unclear or unaware of their employers’ CSR activities
- One-third of workers would take a pay cut to work for a socially responsible firm.
