1. Explain how Corporate Social Responsibility history impacted in today’s business

model? Write down in 200 words using your ½ sheet of paper.

-While it was widely held in previous decades that companies should only focus on
their bottom lines, the past decade has seen a change in this thinking. In fact, 66
percent of online consumers said they would pay more for products or services from
companies that are socially and environmentally responsible, according to a 2015
Nielsen survey. That same survey also found that consumer-goods’ brands with a
commitment to sustainability outperform those that don’t.

Besides the potential loss of socially conscious consumers, CSR impacts a business’
ability to attract top talent and affects employees’ job satisfaction levels and retention
rates. The next generation of workers currently entering the workforce seek out
6|Page
employers with a clear and effective CSR strategy. Quality talent in 2016 wants to be
employed by a transparent company with the goal of doing good, while also making a
profit. Businesses that don’t prioritize a corporate social responsibility strategy risk
losing top talent to companies that are doing so.

Additionally, businesses that practice CSR have happier and more satisfied employees.
This is because employees feel working for a socially conscious employer gives them a
sense of purpose. Also, businesses practicing corporate social responsibility tend to
invest more in their employees and work harder to create a workplace that employees
enjoy returning to each day. Given that the current average in the U.S. for employee
tenure is 4.2 years, implementing an expansive and effective CSR strategy can help
employers retain their current employees for longer.

The rise of social media has also impacted the importance of corporate social
responsibility. Today, companies with unethical business practices are exposed
harshly on social media and can have their reputation damaged greatly in a matter of
a few hours. Alternatively, social media also works as a tool to highlight companies
implementing CSR or those with ethical business practices, which can lead to
increased sales, a larger audience reach, and free positive publicity.

Analysis

-The difference between rightful acts from values is that rightful act is an action

that just described is fair and morally right, in your opinion while values are
individual beliefs that motivate people to act one way or another. They serve as a
guide for human behavior.

1. From the lesson, how does ethics influence corporate social responsibility? Do they
two complement with each other? How?
-Business ethics and social responsibility are very important for organizational

employee, customer and community relations. Not only that but also, they perceive
that better public image/reputation; greater customer loyalty; strong and healthier
community relations can inure to the benefit of corporations that are socially
responsible. Implications of the findings are finally drawn.

1. From the lesson, what are the considerations to make before conducting any CSR
activities?
This are the following considerations to make before conducting any CSR activities;

 Internal Assessment.
Before designing a CSR strategy it is often helpful to assess your current CSR
activities, looking at the whole picture what CSR policies, programs, and
structures are already in place and where the “gaps” are.

 Put it in writing.
Ensure that your company creates a separate CSR statement or embeds its CSR
commitment within the company’s mission or values statement, code of conduct
or other appropriate company policy.

 Embed CSR into the company planning and budget processes.

The ultimate goal of creating a CSR management system is to ensure that CSR
considerations are a part of all business decisions.

9|Page
  Develop processes for employees to raise CSR issues and concerns to
appropriate decision-makers and advocates.
An open environment is one of the easiest ways to solicit valuable feedback on
CSR issues and problems.
 Formalize the board- and executive- level responsibility for CSR issues.
impossible to successfully implement CSR in your company without board,
executive and senior management buy-in, support, and accountability for CSR
performance. Your ability to build senior-level vision and support will have a
direct impact on the depth, breadth, longevity and overall effectiveness of your
CSR work.
 Communicate CSR performance visibly and frequently to all employees.
Whether through newsletters, annual reports, intranet communication,
meetings, training or other informal mechanisms, make sure your employees
know CSR is a company priority.
 Put CSR on the agenda of meetings at all levels of the company.
This includes the board, executive and senior management, companywide
meetings and departmental communications.
 Provide training for employees directly involved in CSR activities.
This is an ongoing commitment since training needs will change as the
company’s CSR issues change and evolve.
 Create CSR accountability at all employee levels.
Build CSR responsibilities into the job descriptions and performance
evaluations of employees at all levels.
 Measure and communicate your performance.
Whether you choose to engage in an internally managed assessment of your
CSR performance or contract out a formal external assessment of your CSR
performance, find an honest and appropriate way to share the results with
internal and external stakeholders

1. What do you think is the reason why economic responsibility is the base of the
pyramid?
-I think the reason why economic resposibility is one of the most required in terms of
responsibility, because Economic responsibility focuses on practices that facilitate the
long-term growth of the business, while also meeting the standards set for ethical,
environmental and philanthropic practices. By balancing economic decisions with
their overall effects on society, businesses can improve their operations while also
engaging in sustainable practices. An example of economic responsibility is when a
company modifies its manufacturing processes to include recycled products, which
could benefit the company by potentially lowering the cost of materials and also
benefit society by consuming fewer resources.

1. What are the considerations in conducting CSR programs? Elaborate them in brief.
- Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a boost to the external image of the
company, but this can also indirectly affect the organization’s internal processes.
Many businesses, however, miss the importance of taking employee values into
account when developing their CSR programs. If a company manages to do this, it's
more likely the employee will feel more engaged with the job, since the company's
values align with their own. 
This are the considerations in conducting CSR programs;
 Articulate A Compelling Mission
- Mission must attract the right talent who is seeking personal fulfillment and
contribution through work that has real meaning and impact. Connecting
people's purpose to the company mission can be transformative.
 Find Your Purpose
-Organizations must find, live and tell their clear purpose in order to thrive.
These companies motivate action, secure loyalty and encourage advocacy -- all
in service to a healthier bottom line. Creating a smart CSR program starts by
addressing critical social/environmental issues through smart strategy,
innovative stakeholder engagement, powerful partnerships and
communications. 
 Have A Holistic Approach

-When designing a CSR program, it is critical to conduct a stakeholder

analysis while in the design phase. It will tie your employees to the

12 | P a g e
 industry/your company mission including what is important to your investors,
customers and your employees, thus creating a holistic approach by
integrating all of their perspectives into the strategy.

 Always Be Authentic

-While employees are drawn to companies whose values align with their own,
especially companies who support CSR programs, being inauthentic will
backfire and they will see right through it. It is better not to create CSR
programs than to put something together that is not truly aligned with what the
company and the senior leadership believe in. Inauthentic "feel good" does not
feel good.

 Look Inside First

-It's hard to launch a successful CSR program if employees see questionable

ethics or poor decisions inside the organization. It's also hard if there is not
widespread respect for employees, as demonstrated by managers and leaders.
It's critical that internal people practices reflect the values of the external CSR
program. 

 Align Skills with Passion

-When creating CSR programs, organizations should consider leveraging their

business specialty to support local community needs and use the company's
values as guiding principles. By doing so, the program will offer the greatest
opportunity for workforce inclusion, reinforce organizational values, and
attract other passionate candidates with similar skills and interests. 

 Think Globally, Act Locally

-I am a fan of grassroots CSR programs where employees can see the impact to
their local community and drive and manage the initiatives themselves with
light corporate oversight. It’s important for people to volunteer for causes that
are tangible and in their own neighborhood. Staying local is an important
aspect of CSR programs and will help drive both participation and
engagement.

 Ask Employees What Causes To Support

-Employers should remember CSR is not a tick-box exercise. It's a real

opportunity to not only contribute to the wider society but also to help
strengthen a business.

1. Since the 7 principles are connected to each other, In what way that 1 principle will
affect the other principle? Explain and cite scenarios that will justify your claim.
- In a way that are not respecting the rule of law, because without abiding this rule of
law it will affect other princples which is can be made more unrespectful in terms of its
behavior. Respecting the rule of law is one of the discipline that have peace and order.
Through this, the rule of law has played an integral part in anchoring economic, social
and cultural rights in national constitutions, laws and regulations. Where such rights
are justiciable or their legal protection is otherwise ensured, the rule of law provides
the means of redress when those rights are not upheld or public resources are misused.
