A 2025 reminder: A ‘C’ change for CSR
CSR-A believe that we should adhere to the letters CSR but redefine the meaning. The ‘C’ needs to be more inclusive. No longer should CSR be just for the corporates.
We have challenged the ‘C’ in CSR because it excludes a large number of stakeholders, specifically the third and public sectors and because ‘corporate’ does not encompass sole traders or smaller SME’s. We recommend that the ‘C’ has a wider focus.
• Corporate Social Responsibility (Private Sector)
• Company Social Responsibility (Private Sector)
• Community Social Responsibility (Public Sector)
• Charitable Social Responsibility (Third Sector)
• Consumer Social Responsibility (Products/Services)
• Citizen Social Responsibility (Training/Awareness)
• Collective Social Responsibility (All of us)
We can then surround these meanings with a Caring, Cohesive approach Common to the wider Collective.
It is important for us to communicate with clarity and in a language that everybody immediately understands. As we reflect on our own sense of value and purpose, it becomes crucial to understand the various dimensions of sustainability and how they impact on our lives. We cut through the anacronyms, initialisations and industry jargon to try and make sense of this rapidly evolving sustainability landscape.
