How to think about them Systematically
• Frameworks and systematic approaches to CSR is still an evolving area, despite a lot of progress over the last 15 years
• No one size fits all • CSR programs and activities can be
examined along many dimensions
![Page 8: THINKING ABOUT CSR IN PRACTICE: thoughts, tools and examples – Lecture to McGill Executive Education Program on CSR](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060111/55669bd3d8b42a78708b52d5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Some Key Dimensions to Think About

Value Sustainability • Does the initial investment continue to provide
value beyond the investment timeframe
Social Value Return on Investment • Not every dollar invested in CSR creates the
same level of social value

Some Key Dimensions to Think About
Partners • Who/what benefits from success of this
initiative? • What sort of partners would fit with this
initiative? (if any) • What value would they receive? Create? (for
project and for company)?
