Social Responsibility

• People Want To Buy From socially responsible businesses
• People Want To Work For socially responsible businesses
• People Want To Partner With socially responsible businesses

Aside from the personal and social benefits from Social Responsibility (SR) awareness, how can it impact your business performance?

Social Responsibility is becoming more than a trend and ‘buzz-word’.

Increasingly, Consumers are demanding changes to the production and supply of products and services.

Scrutiny of labelling, processes and business management & integrity are influencing where people spend their money.

As a response, Supply chains are demanding greater emphasis on Social Responsibility action, transparency and reporting – many large organisations now produce SR reports in conjunction with their Annual Reports.

Trading term and supply relationships are therefore becoming increasingly reliant on smaller businesses within the supply chain complying with Social Responsibility programs.

Social Responsibility Models

All of this may sound daunting, and the domain of large business.

Fortunately, there are a number of recognised Social Responsibility models to suit all business sizes, budgets and complexity.

Resonanz Consulting can work with you to identify the model best suited to your strategy and budget.

We currently utilise as models: • ISO 26000 – Social Responsibility • Global Reporting Initiative • The Good Business Register

Integrating a Social Responsibility model into your business doesn’t cost – it pays.
