Your CSR Policy is a statement of intent. An acknowledgment of the impact your organisation has and your plan to ensure your impact is positive. It should be completely aligned to your values and everyone should be able to understand it. It’s time to get creative. We can help you write an engaging and impactful CSR policy. Don’t settle for a hidden CSR, ESG or sustainability policy, create one you can shout about.
“We have to abandon the conceit that isolated personal actions are going to solve this crisis. Our policies have to shift.”
Al Gore
This is not just a tick-box exercise. Your potential customers, employees, suppliers and investors ALL want to read your CSR Policy. It should be engaging and help them understand what actions your organisation is taking to become more sustainable.
