Policy and Program Development
A. Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are practices and policies through which a
company incorporates its social and environmental responsibilities into its transactions and
stakeholder interactions. By using a CSR, a company aims to improve the community, the
economy, and the environment. The company is opening itself to accountability to itself, its
stakeholders, and the public. But mostly, through corporate social responsibilities, a
company can be mindful of the effect it has on the environment, communities, and economy.
In 2010 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published the ISO
26000 that provides companies with guidelines to implement corporate social responsibilities.
Furthermore, the ISO 26000 helps clarify what social responsibility is and translates principles
into effective actions (ISO.org, 2021). These days, a company's commitment to sustainability
and general performance is persistently judged based on the application of ISO 26000.
Companies implement CSR in different ways, depending on their preferred direction. CSR can
be achieved by incorporating environmental programs, through donations and volunteer
programs, through projects to develop and enhance the community, and by contributing to the
economy (Trevino,
2017).
