Knowledge Castle 1 - Corporate Social Responsibility

Welcome to Knowledge Castle - a series where I talk about many different issues from both sides. The aim is to mainly voice out my thoughts and trigger the reader's thinking. Do give me feedback so I can improve in subsequent posts :)

According to Investopedia, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is "a self-regulating business model that helps a company be socially accountable to itself, its stakeholders, and the public."

This framework makes businesses consider other aspects of their work other than creating profits to benefit from such that they contribute towards making a positive impact in society rather than continuing to inflict harms on the environment or people.

Why is this concept important?

The United Nations' Emission Gap Report released this year has shown that the time left to avoid catastrophic consequences of global climate change is becoming dangerously narrow. Significant and immediate action is required, especially knowing that the world is going through an unstable phase in its economy and geopolitical stability. We cannot just care about the environment anymore - all of humanity is at risk. With the income gap between the richest and the poorest not showing signs of improvement, it is not far-fetched to say that we could possibly face a very disparate world compared to status quo. The top tenth of wealthy people might end up being the only ones able to afford basic human rights and necessities. What makes things worse is that space (seen as a popular solution to the world's environmental issues) is mainly being explored as a way to bring profits rather than to benefit all mankind. It is being seen as a competitive field to dominate, especially when you consider that the demographics of space investors constitute mainly private companies who are helped on by their government.

As such, companies are major stakeholders in helping to resolve this problem. CSRs are not from the heart - it is important to understand that they are carefully-thought business methods that mainly aim to benefit the corporation's revenue. A common example of CSR in the fashion and beauty industries is a strong stand against animal cruelty. This means that companies transparently show that they do not make products from animal-derived materials. On the front side, this looks like a very noble cause. It feels good not only as an announcement but as a choice for consumers to make. You see the psychological impact here? It contributes towards driving sales because it can take out the guilt from their shopping and also can make them feel like they are participating in good and moral behaviour. CSR hence greatly improves a company's prospects in terms of outreach, consumption and reputation. However, the real doubt is whether CSR is truly achieving its stated goals. Corporations can be big and so, as customers, we cannot exactly track down every process they carry out. Sometimes, CSR can be a magic show to distract us from ineffective action. A popular case to show this is the concept of greenwashing. Wikipedia defines it as "a form of advertising or marketing spin in which green PR and green marketing are deceptively used to persuade the public that an organization's products, aims and policies are environmentally friendly." Some companies may present a sustainable or circular business framework while not presenting the whole picture. For example, a toy company could talk about reusing materials in the manufacturing process while hiding the intensive energy consumption that goes into making this possible (which is obviously the problem that they need to think about - how can they make their processes sustainable from the very start?). The company could even be exploiting child workers but covering up the truth with a false show of "handicraft to save the Earth" in their products. However, consumers would not be able to identify this if the corporation bombards them with campaign videos or certification marks.

This does not render CSRs completely useless. Rather, it highlights the important changes needed to improve their transparency, effectiveness and commitment. CSRs are beneficial only if there are tight regulations present to ensure that they are followed through. Additionally, incentives and capacity building by governments for corporations to benefit more from implementing such models are necessary. Lastly, SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) would also require support for them to be able to afford implementing such measures because the market, capital and resource access for them are drastically different. With the urgency of this issue being stressed enough and influential stakeholders being strict with their action, one could expect optimism in the way CSRs change our world. We need this change.

All credits given in links highlighting relevant words or phrases.

Pondering questions: Is the ideal situation for CSRs achievable? How does the concept of CSR link to green fatigue?

good knowledge matters

KNOWLEDGE IS ATTAINED WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND AND KNOW SOMETHING. IT COMPRISES OF LEARNING AND LIFE EXPERIENCES. YOU CAN ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE THROUGH VARIOUS MEANS, SUCH AS FACTS, SKILLS, AND WISDOM. THE AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE ONE CAN ACQUIRE IS IMMEASURABLE, GIVEN ITS BREADTH OF SCOPE. TO ATTAIN KNOWLEDGE, ONE NEEDS TO UTILIZE THEIR BRAIN, COMMUNICATE, OBSERVE, AND THINK LOGICALLY.
