Course Summary
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Corporate Citizenship, Triple Bottom Line, and Sustainable Business have all become catchphrases for movements developing within corporations to address the very serious and growing vulnerabilities facing our nation and the world. For simplicity, we will refer to these movements as CSR. CSR includes a company’s social and environmental impacts as well as treatment of employees across its supply chain.

Once thought to be a method for protecting reputation, research has reinforced the business case for CSR and the role it plays in shaping corporate reputation. With multiple stakeholders including NGO’s, governments, the Social Responsible Investment (SRI) community and employees all demanding transparency, communicating CSR is complex.

Corporate communicators frequently find themselves at the center of these movements charged with a continuum of activities from CSR reporting to employee and stakeholder engagement to the initiation of joint ventures.
