What is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)?
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) (www.wbcsd.ch) defines CSR as business' commitment to:

• contribute to sustainable economic development,
• working with employees,
• their families,
• the local community,
• and-society at large to improve their quality of life.

They are convinced that a coherent CSR strategy, based on integrity, sound values, and a long-term approach offers clear business benefits to companies and contributes to the well-being of society.

The Business in the Community (www.bitc.org.uk), a UK based coalition states:

• It is an undeniable fact - companies have an impact on society and the environment through their operations, products or services and through their interaction with key stakeholders such as employees, customers, investors, local communities, suppliers and others.
• Corporate responsibility means managing this impact so as to add value to the company and increase wider economic and social well-being now and over the longer term.

They have created an Index that enables companies to assess the extent to which Corporate Strategy is Integrated or translated into responsible practice throughout the organization, in the Management of four key areas:

• Community,
• Environment,
• Marketplace and
• Workplace

In Nike's (www.nike.com) Corporate Responsibility Report of 2004 they state:

• Corporate Responsibility challenges us to take a good, hard look at our business model, and understand our impact on the world around us.
• We believe that a strong corporate responsibility effort will be good for business. It helps deliver value to our five core stakeholder groups:
• Consumers,
• Shareholders,
• Business Partners,
• Employees,
• andThe Community
