Corporate Social Responsibility
What is Social Responsibility?
People are more socially conscious today than ever before. Consumers choose to spend their money with companies that share their values, and employees prefer to work for businesses with ethical practices.
This reality drives corporations and even small businesses to adopt social responsibility programs that highlight their positive contributions and influence in their industry.
Social responsibility refers to adopting policies and practices that aim to benefit communities and the world. A company can choose a cause it wants to support and be accountable to its investors and customers.
There are many ways to pursue corporate social responsibility, i.e., volunteering and philanthropy, promoting environmental sustainability, ethical labor laws, and more.
A few big names in the corporate world that demonstrate their social efforts include Starbucks, Ben & Jerry’s, and Lego. The growth they've experienced shows the importance of social responsibility to consumers.
Corporate Social Responsibility Causes Your Company Can Partner With
Companies should partner with one (or more) of the countless charities and organizations that exist. However, establishments should make it a point to only team up with social responsibility programs that ring true to their voice and brand; otherwise, it may come off as ingenuine.
Wellness
Healthcare
Today's generation, Gen Z, is more aware of their mental and physical well-being. If this cause speaks to your brand, you can partner with an organization of healthcare professionals that offers physical and emotional health support. If that's not in your budget, start a community fitness challenge or a walkathon where the proceeds go towards your cause.
Wellness Programs
Promote your employees to be healthier. Find a company that will build a program that incentivizes your employees to achieve their fitness and wellness goals.
Increase Morale
Projects like these can boost employee morale and decrease burnout while saving the company money in the long term in the form of increased productivity and fewer sick days.

Donations
Donate an auditorium, lab, or any needed equipment to the establishment.
Promote Education
You could also promote education among underprivileged minority students by supporting a Historically Black College or University (HBCU).

It can be financial, with a monetary donation or sponsorship, or it can be time-related. For example, your employees can volunteer with them for a short period. Another option would be that your company creates a product that can benefit the community.
