Good corporate citizenship – commitment or lack of?

Reputations are increasingly being made and lost on the basis of organizations’ commitment or lack of commitment to social responsibility. Does your business stand in a positive place on this spectrum? Effective marketing of company involvement in social or charitable causes or efforts and expense in environmental stewardship can yield public dividends in the form of goodwill, making it a potential value proposition. This social capital extends within the company, as well, inspiring employee pride and loyalty, which can ultimately impact the bottom line.
