Corporate Social Responsibility: An Implementation Guide for Business

Corporate Social Responsibility: An Implementation Guide for Business aims to provide practical guidance on CSR to companies operating in the international context. It contains information on how to assess the effects of business activities on others, develop and implement a CSR strategy and commitments, and measure, evaluate and report on performance and engage with stakeholders. It provides insights to those in the commercial world and those outside it. The guide distills ideas and processes from a variety of sources, and is intended to be suggestive, not prescriptive. The guide includes a six-stage “plan, do, check and improve” implementation framework for a CSR approach, with some information particular to small business. Five appendices contain supplementary information, including a list of key sources for further reading.
