This document discusses corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the relationship between organizations and society. It defines CSR as actions taken by organizations to positively influence the communities in which they operate. CSR initiatives can include community programs, scholarships, cultural preservation, and beautification projects. The document emphasizes that organizations and society are interdependent and have mutual expectations of one another. It also presents different views on CSR, including the idea that CSR allows organizations to fulfill their duties to society in exchange for the rights and privileges they receive. The document concludes that an organization's social role is based on its business ethics.
Over the past few years, much discussion has taken place about what is the next evolution of corporate citizenship. And yet, a real look reveals no “right” balance between philanthropic donations, environmental initiatives, community programs or skills-based pro bono work. The truth is, there is no easy answer or one-size-fits-all solution.

In 2002, driven by an impetus to improve the lives of disadvantaged children, families, and women, a group of corporate leaders founded Smile Foundation of India. This non-governmental organization (NGO) supports, advocates for, and funds myriad grassroots initiatives, on the premise that citizens cannot rely on the government alone to solve problems related to social inequality, sustainability, and the environment.
CSR is a game changer for business. In developing countries such as Indonesia, it became both strategic and ethical decision to ensure business sustainability.

These efforts can include initiatives such as philanthropy, volunteerism, sustainable practices, and community engagement.
NGOs, or non-governmental organizations, play a critical role in promoting and implementing CSR activities. Many NGOs work to promote sustainable practices, protect human rights, and improve living conditions in communities around the world.
There are many NGOs that specialize in CSR, and the top ones will vary depending on the region, industry and focus area. Some examples of top NGO that focus on CSR are:
Nityango.org
Amnesty International
International Labour Organization
Save the Children
Greenpeace
World Wildlife Fund
The Nature Conservancy
CSR for NGO refers to the ways in which NGOs can work with businesses to promote and implement CSR activities. This can include partnerships, collaborations, or campaigns to raise awareness about social and environmental issues.
Some examples of CSR activities that NGO's and businesses can do together are:
Partnering on sustainable procurement practices
Implementing programs to empower communities through job creation and livelihood training
Collaborating to protect natural resources
Working together to ensure human rights are protected throughout supply chains

Monetary donations
Providing in-kind donations of goods or services
Employee volunteer opportunities
Supporting NGO programs and campaigns
Collaboration in community development initiatives

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Ethics and corporate social responsibilities
1. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
Ethics and Corporate Social
Responsibilities.
PROFESSOR JAYASHREE SADRI
AND
DR SORAB SADRI
2. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
Logic Of Ethical Organizations
Ethical Organizations need to be value
centered.
Value centered organizations have a positive
and mutually beneficial link with civil society.
This link is primarily fulfilled through CSR
initiatives.
3. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
What Is C S R ?
Corporate Social Responsibility is nothing
but what an organization does to influence
the society in which it exists. It could take
the form of community relations, volunteer
assistance programmes, special
scholarships, preservation of cultural
heritage and beautification of the city.
4. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
Mutual Expectations
Any business needs a stable social environment
that provides a predictable climate for investment
and trade. At the same time, society also has
expectations from the business. In this manner,
businesses and society are interdependent and
businesses must take full account of societal
expectations.
5. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
Organization and Society
It is a well accepted fact that an organization
exists within a given society.
Its activities influence the social environment just
as the social environment influences its
activities.
So CSR is increasingly being viewed, not only as
making good business sense, but also
contributing to long term prosperity of the
companies and ultimately its survival.
6. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
A Boundary Less Universe
The span of this social environment has
expanded along with the breaking down of
international trade barriers, the globalization of
markets and the evolution of the concept of a
global village. The organization's social
responsibility has similarly expanded to engulf
peoples and regions outside an organization's
immediate business domain.
7. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
C S R As A Societal Need
As corporate houses grow in strength in a rapidly
globalising environment, their contribution to the
development of society becomes increasingly
pertinent.
The emergence of CSR has been critical for
millions of people left below the poverty line.
Innovative partnerships between businesses,
governments and civil societies hold the potential
to touch the lives of millions, leading to enhanced
quality of living through better access to
essential services.
8. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
CSR As A Brand Builder
The challenge for successful company in the Indian as well
as the Global Economy is to build and maintain efficient,
effective and fair relationships with its global and local
stake holders.
An increased brand value, greater access to finance,
stronger risk management and corporate governance,
healthier and safer work place, motivated people, customer
loyalty and enhanced confidence and trust are the benefits
of excellent CSR.
9. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
Quid Pro Quo?
Along with rights and privileges
come duties and obligations. The
corporations enjoy certain rights and
privileges by way of government
policy ,legislation, custom and
practice. The corporations fulfill
their obligations and duties by
undertaking their social
responsibilities.
10. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
Changing Perceptions
In a manner of speaking, this could also be the
corporations way of answering critics of big
business who saw nothing but faults in them. (e.g
Communists)
As society evolved, attitudes towards big
business have changed. In India we have
embarked upon a change in attitude towards
business since liberalization, privatization and
globalization as well as during the unfolding of
the post WTO scenario.
11. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
Consumer Choice Options
With this change came a change in the nature of
markets and competition. Market emphasis
moved from the consumer sector (ration cards
and queues for everything) to the producer sector
(quality, price and value addition). The choices
for the consumer were hitherto limited but now
they have been increased since there are more
players in the arena of business.
After all, economic development brings in its
wake an increase in the number of available and
affordable choices.
12. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
The Coexistence Need
The basic question that arises when we speak of
corporate social responsibility is “How should we
live in relation to one another?
Society and corporations must co-exist and each
must contribute to the well being of the other
while seeking that other members of society do
not suffer. It should be a win-win situation where
the quality of life all around improves.
13. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
Quality of Life
The essence of Corporate Social
Responsibility is the continuing
commitment by business to behave
ethically and contribute to economic
development while improving the quality
of life of not only its work force but their
families as well as civil society at large.
14. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
Views
From time to time politicians and self styled
moral policemen of society make statements on
CSR. These are emotionally or politically
motivated more often than not and seldom arise
from serious study or thought.
However, there are also some accepted and
definite views held by social thinkers on what
social responsibility is or means to different
corporations and people. We shall review the
most important among these views and find a link
between all of them.
15. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
ATTITUDES TOWARDS BUSINESS AND
GOVERNMENT.
Andrew Carnegie and the Gospel of Wealth.
Charity Principle: Those in society who were more
fortunate should assist those others who were less
fortunate.
Stewardship Principle: Business and wealthy individuals
should view themselves as steward or caretakers holding
their property in trust for the benefit of society as a whole.
16. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
Milton Friedman and Honest Profit.
According to Milton Friedman the purpose of
business is to make profit and that is all.
According to him, the only social responsibility of
business is to use its energies and activities
designed to increase its profits as long as it stays
within the rules of the game and engages in open
and free competition without deception and
fraud. Business is the custodian of the investor’s
interests.
17. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
Friedman’s Concept of Social
Ignorance
He says that corporate officials are in no position
to determine the relative urgency of social
problems or the amount of organizational
resources required to be committed for a
problem.
Business should produce goods and services
efficiently and leave the solution of social
problems to concerned individuals (NGOs) and to
the Government Agencies whose business is to
safeguard the interests of the (tax paying)
citizens .
18. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
KEITH DAVIS AND ENLIGHTENED SELF
INTEREST
He propounded the Iron Law of Responsibility. In
the long run those who do not use their power in
a manner that society considers responsible, will
tend to lose it.
This is often referred to as Enlightened Self
Interest where organizations realize that it is in
their own best interest to act in a way that
community considers socially responsible. In
USA there is a 5% club where a group of
companies donate five percent of their profits to
charity.
19. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
ROBERT ACKERMAN AND CORPORATE
SOCIAL RESPONSIVENESS.
The issue is no longer responsibility but one of
corporate responsiveness.
The question arises as to how do organizations
become aware of and then respond to social
issues. The theory of Corporate Social
Responsiveness focuses on how companies
respond to issues rather than trying to determine
their ultimate social responsibility.
20. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
ARCHIE CARROLL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE
He combines social responsibility and social
responsiveness to form a social action approach. This is
like the sociologists who examine the causes and effects of
customs and practices within social groups.
Corporate policies and decision can reflect one of these
four stances :
1. Reactive
2. Defensive
3. Accommodative
4. Proactive
21. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri

25. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
Conclusion
The basis of social responsibility lies in values
and beliefs of the organization, that in turn form
the backbone of ethics and so it is not wise to
separate the two.
Indeed a corporation’s social role is based on
and flows from its Business Ethics.
How this assists in promoting the corporate
business interest is another aspect of study.
26. Jayashree Sadri and Sorab Sadri
We shall consider motivations for CSR
later on.
