Writing a Corporate Social Responsibility Page

socialalterations.com
Every business should have a written statement of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and it should be included in all media on the web pertaining to its industry. Here is an example of a good CSR that is taught in my Professional Business Practices course. The information is important for the potential client or associate to determine if your business is a good choice to partner with in future endeavors.
The information should be clear and categorized by company, culture, rewards philosophy, company's social responsibility, community commitment, and company innovations. The following CSR statement is prepared for your understanding in the process of writing your own Corporate Social Responsibility statement.
