Social Responsibility

More and more companies and investors are putting environmental, social and governance (ESG) and corporate and social responsibility (CSR) factors at the core of their operations, highlighting the growing importance for many companies of aligning social drivers with traditional profit drivers and shareholder value drivers. Social responsibility means caring for employees and the communities in which companies operate by behaving ethically and in a sustainable manner. The International Standards Organization (ISO) has developed ISO 26000 to provide guidance on social responsibility.
