  You're keen to implement CSR, but it's a demanding exercise to establish a sound and effective policy that percolates through the entire organisation and shapes everything it does. Mark Vernon and Craig ... Mackenzie offer 20 top tips to put you on the path of righteousness. MANAGEMENT 1. Make sure the CEO gets it. If he or she doesn't, companies will struggle to pay more than lip-service to corporate social resposibility. In this respect, CSR is no different from any substantial corporate activity. For example, at telecoms company Vodafone, CSR is set as one of six board-level, strategic goals. The company's group executive committee, chaired by CEO Arun Sarin, is responsible for policy and performance. Incidentally, there is a serious economic argument to be made for CSR: it doesn't just deliver for the environment, it delivers on the bottom line too. Companies as diverse as the retailer Marks & Spencer, the telco BT, the healthcare specialist Novo Nordisk and the bank HSBC have found th   [More...] [Less...]

The ideas of charity and ... stewardship helped to shape the early thinking about CSR in the US. Ida Tarbell ’s 1904 work The History of the Standard Oil Company helped lead to the decision of the decision to break up the company on antitrust grounds. Similarly, Upton Sinclair ’s 1906 book The Jungle led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drugs Act and the Meat Inspection Act by the United States Congress . These can be seen as early attempts to mandate socially responsible corporate behavior. The term CSR itself came in to common use in the early 1970s although it was seldom abbreviated.

The survey, which polled members of the ChangeWave Alliance in July, found that 62 percent of respondents have no current plans to deploy Windows Vista. That's down one percent from the last survey the group conducted in April, but still considerably higher than the 50 percent that said they had no plans for Vista in the January survey. Vista was rolled out to corporate buyers last November and to consumers at the end of January. The ChangeWave Alliance, which was formed in 2000, describes itself as "a group of 10,000 business, technology and medical professionals."
