What is Corporate Social Responsibility?

The awareness of businesses' Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is increasing.

CSR refers to a company's obligation to do business in a manner that meets or exceeds the ethical, legal, commercial and public expectations that society has of business.

Increasingly well-informed consumers and stakeholders are demanding clear, hard facts about a company's performance.

Free support is available to help your business reduce your environmental impact whilst maximising profits from BETRE, Envirowise and Business Link.

What is a Sustainable Business?

A sustainable business is an enduring and profitable business.

To be sustainable your business needs to evaluate:

  • What you produce;
  • How you buy and sell;
  • How you affect the environment;
  • Where you have investments;
  • How you recruit, train and develop your own people; and
  • How you engage with the community in which you operate.

Business Link can help you evaluate your business.
