, Intro
CSR and Sustainability..
• CSR often targets opinion formers such as the media, politicians, and pressure
groups, and focuses on balancing current stakeholder interests.
• Corporate sustainability takes a more holistic approach, considering the social
impacts from business alongside the environment and economy.
Trends in Sustainability
Moving from…
• Company towards supply chain
• Environment towards social impacts
• Check-the-box towards making-an-impact
• Top-Down towards Bottum-Up -> sustainability was driven by CEO, now people start
own initiatives, generation wants to make it happen.
• Nice-to-have towards need-to-have
• CSR director towards CFO and CEO
The Quest for Purpose
• In search of the Why
• Sustainability as a Source of Purpose
- Talent Attraction and Retention
• Purpose statement formulation
- Interface: they produce carpets from fishing nets from oceans, they don’t sell the
carpets but the rent them to offices then take it back and reuses it.
- Patagonia: use business to protect nature.
- Dopper: stop plastic pollution.
- Tony’s Chocolonely’s Slave-Free Chocolate
The Corporate Social Responsibility Hierarchy
• Economic responsibility: To produce an acceptable return for investors.
• Legal responsibility: To act within the framework of laws and regulations drawn up by
the government and judiciary (what about Shell and Nigeria?)
• Ethical responsibility: To do no harm to its stakeholders and within its operating
environment (an Oath?!)
• Discretionary responsibility: Companies have more pro-active, strategic behaviors
that benefit themselves or society, or both (Unilever soap in rural India, Tony
Chocolonely, Patagonia)
Archetypes
• Traditional: inherent risks (tobacco, weapons), compliance driven and focus on
reporting to regulatory affairs
• Communicative: opportunity seizing is complicated because sustainability measures
are costly (automotive, insurance). Focus on risk reduction and compliance.
• Opportunistic: opportunities offered by Sustainability (energy / renewables).
• Transformational: companies that have embraced Sustainability in a holistic fashion.
Sustainability programs are more closely tied to business operations.
