The document provides steps for small and medium enterprises to implement corporate social responsibility (CSR). It outlines 6 steps - commitment, assessment, definition, implementation, measurement, and communication. Each step is further broken down into sub-steps detailing activities the company should undertake. For example, step 0 focuses on identifying "quick win" CSR activities that are easy to implement. Step 1 involves getting commitment from the CEO. Step 2 is to assess and prioritize potential CSR activities.

Short Term Actions
Step 0a – Identify ‘Quick Wins’
• All organizations – knowingly or unknowingly – pursue
CSR.

activities that are easy to
accomplish and don’t require a lot of expertise or effort.
• Examples:
•
Training programs for staff,
•
Having an employee canteen,

categories:
• Work-force oriented CSR activity
• Society oriented CSR activity
• Environment oriented CSR activity
• Market (or Customer) oriented CSR activity
• Make a list of all activities that the organization currently
undertakes and list
them under one or more of the above categories

Step 1 – Commitment
Step 1 – Commitment from CEO/Owner
• CSR activity needs support of the senior management.
• Issue a letter signed by the owner or CEO of the
6. organization, indicating their
eagerness and support for pursuing CSR.
• Communicate the decision to all employees.
• Ensure that the Owner/CEO is personally present to make the
annoucement.
• This will indicate the seriousness to the employees.
Step 1 – Sample Text
Dear Stakeholders,
I am pleased to inform all of you and confirm the commitment
of XYZ to pursue CSR and support issues related
to our stakeholders including labour rights, human rights,
environment and anti-corruption. With this
commitment, we intend to pursue a set of activities that will
make a clear statement of our commitment to
stakeholders and general public.
We also pledge to annually report our progress and make the
information available for public scrutiny. Based on
the feedback, we shall strive to improve ourselves and uphold
ourselves as a responsible business.
Signed CEO/Owner
Step 2 – Assessment
Step 2 – Assess and Prioritize
• At this point, companies have several ideas that they can
pursue.
• The Assessment phase will involve asking and answering
specific questions to
7. enable improved decision making.
This will ensure that CSR is not merely philanthrophic or
problemtaic but integral
to the company’s strategy.
Step 2 – Questions to Ask…

stakeholders?
Issues:
Does the activity focus on appropriate issues/risks affecting the
SME?
Efficiency:
Does the activity allow the SME to use its organization
efficiently?
Benefits:

Step 3 – Define
Step 3 – Define and Elaborate
• The qualitative and quantitative analysis provides greater
clarity to the CSR
activities that needs to be initiated within the company.
• Defining starts with stating objectives of the specific activity
• Identifying existing status and future targets over a
timeframe.
9. • These can stated in a ‘CSR Road Map’ document.
• Targets (e.g. 2 training programs/year) can then be integrated
into the
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of employees.

Step 4 – Implement
Step 4 – Allocate Resources and Implement
• Once targets are defined, the company needs to identify the
resources required to
successfully meet the targets.
• Resources can be financial, human, and other non-financial
resources.
• Teams need to be put in place along with a management
system.
• Necessary information needs to be communicated and
support provided through
training and capacity building.
11. CSR Decision Making Structure:
CSR Team: (State Names of Personnel, Roles and
Responsibilities)
Training and Capacity Building: (Provide a description of the
additional training required to make the CSR Team
competent to undertake the required activities)
Additional Resources: (State financial and non-financial
resources required to successfully implement the CSR
activity)
Measures to address problems / challenges: (State the
mechanism set up to secure feedback during the
implementation process and means to address the problem)
Monitoring and Reporting: (State the procedures for data
monitoring against the set targets)
Fill out the CSR Road Map – Part 2
Step 5 – Measure
Step 5 – Monitoring and Reporting Data
• As the CSR activities are implemented, a system to collect
periodic feedback and
data needs to be initiated.
• Data collection can be daily/weekly/monthly/quaterly or
annually.
• Data should ideally be quantitative as it is objective and
easier to understand. But
where not possible qualitative data should be encouraged.
• The data should be reported by comparing against set targets
in Step 3.

Module 5 Project – DNS Design and TestingBackground
ACME Widgets is a multinational corporation with several
divisions. ACME clients include U.S. and international
manufacturers and some US military contractors. ACME
Widgets hired you as a consultant to design the Active
Directory logical diagram.
ACME Corporate structure:
· ACME Navigation - the largest division, is involved in design
and manufacture of electronic components used in navigation
and guidance systems.
· ACME IC– this division’s mission is to design and
manufacture custom IC (integrated circuits) and specialty chips
as a subcontractor to OEMs.
· ACME Software – this division provided outsourcing software
development services. ACME logical framework
ACME Widgets corporate entity has been setup as a forest root
domain. The name Acme-widgets.biz was registered as an
external DNS name. All internal divisions have been setup as
child domains of the Forest Root domain Acme-widgets.biz
Current OU design for Acme Widgets domain is as follows.

· ACME Navigation will continue to deal with the civilian
navigation electronics.
· ACME Defense will concentrate on designing and building
guidance systems for the military market.
Complete the following project objectives.
1. Update the Active Directory domains Visio diagram to
include the new ACME-Defense domain as a child domain of
ACME-Navigation domain. Properly label all domains. Save the
Visio diagram as a JPG image.
a. Label the ACME-Defense domain using correct FQDN.

image of the Visio diagram in the picture place holder below
2. ACME Defense Domain will host a DNS server responsible
for ACME-Defense primary forward lookup zone. The same
server will also host a secondary forward lookup zone for
ACME-Navigation. How would you test to make sure that DNS
server responsible for ACME-Defense primary zone is operating
correctly and is correctly updating the ACME-Navigation
secondary zone? List at least 4 unique tests.
a. Describe each testing step and list the actual command you
would use to perform the required test.
17. b. Explain the expected outcome of each test.
c. Describe what each test results indicate.a) Describe a test
procedure and list test commands (if required)b) Describe
successful outcome of the test.c) Describe what each test proves
or disproves.For example
Ping IP address of the DNS server from a single DNS client
computer in the ACME-Defense domain
Ping command will return successful echo response.
