The benefits of SR accreditation (CSRA)

Better brand recognition:
Improve your brand reputation to all of your audiences through delivering ethical practices throughout your business.

Positive business reputation:
Building a reputation as a responsible business can lead to competitive advantage.

Customer engagement:
Using CSR accreditation can help you engage with your customers in new ways. Since the message is about something ‘good’, it can often be an easier way to talk to your customers.

Employee engagement:
Employees want to feel proud of the organisation they work for and are less likely to look for a job elsewhere. It is also likely that you will receive more job applications because people want to work for you.

Investment:
Investors are more likely to be attracted to and continue to support companies that demonstrate a commitment not only to employees and customers, but also to causes and organizations that impact the lives of others.

Tendering Trends:
A robust approach to Corporate Social Responsibility can give you an advantage in the tender process.
It is now common place to be scored on your CSR performance including health and wellbeing of staff when tendering for both pubic and private projects.

“Did you know that some buyers place a 30% weighting on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and social value in their tenders?
A report by Social Enterprise UK (SEUK) has revealed that one in three councils in England now routinely considers social value and Social Responsibility (SR) in their procurement and commissioning, with one in four having a social value policy.” Thornton & Lowe 

PR and Marketing:
CSR accreditation provides the opportunity to share positive stories online and through traditional media.

SR is not something for the short term. It’s all about achieving long term results and business continuity.
