I believe it is very important that CSR is fully separated from Marketing / run by a different team. I worked a couple years for a global multi billion company and CSR only really got effective when the company decided to build a full team around it…

Dubai to build the largest arch Bridge – Necessary?

If any real city on our planet can claim an active stake in creating unnecessary urban landscape, it's probably Dubai. Artificial islands arranged in the shape of the world? The world's only seven-star hotel? And in 2012, it will also become home to the largest, tallest arch bridge ever.

Hello Henry , Use CSR as Marketing that what my organisation is doing for the Corporate , we have become like their Marketer since it win win process.What I have observed with my personal experience is large company are serious but small are not serious.

Let me send you a sample of the photo of my previuos sponsor at one even at University , the room was full of is brand but I have to admit it since is investment what do you think about?

Best rgeards ,

Henry... I see you added me as a friend, welcome!

As an organizational psychologist I have always thought of CSR starting inside the corporation in the way individuals are treated and the honesty, integrity, and decency of management... all of these are rare in governance and management as deceit (of, the customer, the suppliers, the other managers, and, of course, the staff) has always seemed a bulwark of any commercial enterprise.

How can any organization profess a CSR mission when it lies, as a matter of policy, to all with whom it deals?
