Corporate Social
Responsibility is here to stay. It isn’t a hash-tagged trend; it’s here for the
duration. There isn’t a month devoted to it on the calendar; it’s not looking to
be monumentalized.
Corporate Social
Responsibility addresses the social, economic and environmental effects of
doing business – defining priorities, integrating social responsibility
throughout business, while building social and business value. Outsourcing can be used as a powerful tool for advancing CSR.
Organizations have a lot of power – locally, globally and economically. Those embracing CSR devote real time and money to socially conscious investments and programs, alternative energy and social welfare initiatives to benefit employees, customers and the world at large.

Corporate Social
Responsibility in outsourcing focuses on three critical areas – people, community
and the environment. The “people” component relates to employee issues such as
fair pay, good working conditions and diversity, while the “community” area
focuses on economic and charitable efforts, both locally and globally. The
“environment” aspect relates to green practices that help reduce energy
consumption and waste. Practicing CSR is also good business for reasons of
sustainability, as well as brand-building.
