Corporate Social responsibility

I am passionate about sustainable development and corporate issues. I do believe that the corporate sector has an enormous role to play in sustainable development. Sustainable development is basically the ability to meet the present demands without compromising the ability of meeting future needs. This however, focuses on achieving integration of economic, environmental and social imperatives. Corporate Social Responsibility considers the interest of employers, employees, shareholders, customers and the public at large. In the South African context an organization should consider aspects relating to skills development, equity, HIV/AIDS, and the sustainable development of especially marginalized communities to mention just a few.

Hi Maxwell

I share in your passion and strong belief in Corporate Social Responsibility. And I know its a growing phenonmenon amongst most big corporations within South Africa.

Let us hope that this will push South Africa one step closer to tackling the poverty and education problem within our country.

I hope we can chat more about this. Keep on blogging!

Regards
