Doing Business Responsibly is a Must

„Over the past two decades, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has blossomed as an idea and evolved at the top of the agenda of leaders in the corporate world. CSR, once a do-gooder sideshow, is now seen as mainstream. Big firms nowadays are expected to be good citizens, and they all want to show that they are. The concept of CSR became a must, a natural obligation. Today, society, in general, has higher expectations from businesses taking on public responsibilities than in previous decades. More than ever, companies are being watched.

Put simply, people want to work for a company with which they can share common values.“
