Attract talent and retain staff through Corporate Social Responsibility 

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an essential part of modern business strategy, enabling companies to align social and environmental efforts with their core values and objectives.  

Why should your business invest in a CSR policy? This article will cover statistics around CSR and the current UK market. 

The benefits of having a CSR policy 

Having a solid CSR policy for your organisation is key to support company culture and employee hiring and retentions. A recent study has found that 60% of employees choose a place to work based on their beliefs and values and 85% of employees consulted about their company’s CSR programme said they were proud of their company’s reputation. 

Additionally, having a strong sustainable and social messaging will elevate your business’s reputation and can drive sales as 85% of UK consumers are more likely to support a business with a purpose. 

Types of CSR policies 

Sustainable commitment 

With climate change being an increasingly relevant topic within the business world over the last decade. Companies must do their part to help support efforts to reverse climate change which the general public supports as 82% of UK consumers believe that businesses have a responsibility to protect the environment, and 51% of employees express a desire for their companies to be more sustainable. 

Businesses can utilise CSR to cultivate a sustainable agenda within their organisation through organising environment focused volunteer days, ensure their business practices are sustainable and strive to be carbon neutral. 

Social engagement 

As younger workers entre the workforce social commitment becomes a pillar of workplaces. Gen Z workers are more keen to work in purpose-driven jobs and 53% of Gen Z and Millennial workers expect companies to take a stance on social issues. 

By using your organisation’s position within the community to drive social impact, you will not only be helping others but showing your employees and future talent that your business is committed to social change. Businesses can use their CSR policies to sponsor social initiatives, organise volunteering within the community, and support education.
