Has CSR failed as a Response???
if every company on the planet were to adopt the best environmentalpractice of the “leading” companies, the world would still be movingtoward sure degradation and collapse.
Paul Hawken
I believe that the vast majority of companies fail to be “good” corporatecitizens. Most sustainability and corporate responsibility programs areabout being less bad rather than good. They are about selective andcompartmentalized “programs” rather than holistic and systemicchange.
Jeffrey Hollender
Has CSR failed as a Response???
CSR is focused at the micro level – supporting social or environmentalissues that happen to align with a company’s strategy, but withoutnecessarily changing that strategy – Systemic CSR focuses onunderstanding the interconnections in the macro level system (society,communities, economies and ecosystems) and changing a company’sstrategy to optimize the outcomes for this larger human and ecologicalsystem.

Quotes
‘Companies still thinking about the environment as a social responsibility rather than a business imperative are living in the dark ages.’
Carter Roberts
For nearly 11 years, now, we have been on this mission; we call it, “climbing Mt. Sustainability”, a mountain higher than Everest, to meet at that point at the top that symbolizes zero footprint—zero environmental impact. Sustainable: taking nothing, doing no harm.

How to measure CSR?
CSR 2.0: Principles
▪ Creativity
▪ (social enterprises)
▪ Scalability
▪ Responsiveness
▪ Glocality
▪ Cradle-to-cradle
The Principle of Creativity
Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence.
Norman Podhoretz
Creativity
Anurag GuptaBYD
Creativity
Necessity is the mother of invention and desire is the father of effort.
The Principle of Scalability
Green technology – going green – is bigger that the Internet. It could be the biggest economic opportunity of the 21st century.
John Doerr
100% renewable energyZero wasteSustainable products
Scalability
Choice editing: Fish products Sustainable Fair trade
The Principle of Responsiveness
As our planet’s life-support system begins to fail and our very survival as a species is brought into question, remember that our children and grand children will ask not what our generation said, but what it did.
HRH The Prince of Wales
Responsiveness
2.6 B not have proper sanitation
Every $1 spent on water andsanitation generates returnsof $8 in saved time, increasedproductivity and reducedhealth costs.
2,000 children die every yearfrom diarrhea caused byunsafe water and poorsanitation.
The Principle of Glocality
We must ensure that the global market is embedded in a broadly shared values and practices that reflect global social needs, and that all the world’s people share the benefits of globalization.
Kofi Annan
Glocality
Co-operativeInvest in farmers to provide produce rather importing
Mining
Think Global…Act Local…
The Principle of Circularity
In economics, they talk about “end of life” as if something has just lost its value and it’s just fallen off a cliff somewhere. We don’t talk about end of life, so that’s a fundamental difference.
William McDonough
Right now, the world runs on consuming and discarding. We’re saying that we’re taking responsibility for our products from birth ‘til birth.
Yvon Chouinard

Local CSR drivers
Driver Root
Cultural Tradition CSR often draws strongly on deep-rooted indigenous cultural traditions of philanthropy, business ethics and community embeddedness.
Political Reform CSR cannot be divorced from the socio-political policy reform process, which often drives business behavior towards integrating social and ethical issues.
Socio-economic priorities CSR is often directly shaped by the socio-economic environment in which firms operate and the development priorities this create.
Governance Gaps CSR is a way to plug “governance gaps” left by weak, corrupt or under-resourced government that fail to adequately provide various social services.
Crisis response CSR responses can be catalyzed by economic, social, environmental, health-related or industrial crises.
Global CSR drivers
Driver Root
Market access CSR may be seen as an enabler for the companies in one country or region trying to access markets in other parts of the world.
International standardization
CSR codes, guidelines and standards are a key driver for companies wishing to operate saglobal players.
Investment incentives CSR is given an incentive by the trend of SRI.
Stakeholder activism CSR is encouraged through the activism of stakeholders/pressure groups acting to address the perceived failure of the market and government policy.
Supply chain integrity CSR among SMEs boosted by requirements from MNCs.
Definition: Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility
CSR is the way in which business consistently create shared value insociety through economic development, good governance, stakeholderresponsiveness and environmental improvement.
CSR is an integrated approach by business that builds, rather thanerodes or destroys, economic, social, human and natural capital.

Responsibility: Take away
Responsibility is the gateway to achievement. And achievement is thepath to growth. Being responsible for something means that we areentrusted with realizing its potential, turning its promise into reality.We are the magicians of manifestation, ready to prove to ourselves andto others what can happen when we put our minds to it, if we focus ourenergies and concentrate our efforts.
Do few things but do them well is the maxim of responsibility.
Being responsible also does not mean doing it all ourselves.Responsibility is a form of sharing, a way of recognizing that we’re all inthis together. ‘Sole responsibility’ is an oxymoron.
