Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the voluntary integration of social and environmental issues, business activities, and the relations of an organization with all its stakeholders. Standard 26,000 of 2010 corresponds to the chapter on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which in turn is regulated by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and is implemented by companies with social or environmental interests.
Through Corporate Social Responsibility programs, organizations manage to reduce their environmental impact, since they are aware of the environmental consequences generated by their actions, to carry out their business activities. Such effects, such as the acceleration of global warming, climate change, the problem with landfills, or environmental disasters caused by environmental imbalance.
Corporate Social Responsibility is concerned with all parts of a company; from its business organization, human rights, labor practices, environment, fair operating practices, responsibility to end consumers, and involvement of the community with which it relates.
Types of corporate social responsibility:
There are three models of CSR: environmental, social, and economic, which seek to level business practices concerning their responsibilities to society and the environment.
- Social: companies that opt for this Social Responsibility model focus on improving labor and economic conditions. They ensure the protection of the fundamental rights enshrined in the Colombian Constitution of 1991. And optimize social conditions in the places their production plants operate and establish codes of conduct among all members of the organization to maintain fair labor conditions and an adequate working environment.
- Economic: this model is characterized by focusing on fair and balanced economic values. The companies that implement it achieve fairer relations between all the links in the market chain: producers, suppliers, and customers, seeking a balance between the resources used and the distribution of benefits.
- Environmental: companies that are committed to this model use non-polluting raw materials, use recycled materials in their processes, and are involved with foundation programs that support the recovery of the natural landscape and the conservation of flora and fauna. They also ensure respect for the constitutional rights to the environment and development enshrined in the Colombian Constitution of 1991.
