Corporate Social Responsibility is News

More companies are trying harder to track their workforce volunteers. AngelPoints in Sausalito, Calif., which sells a program that helps companies track employee volunteering, has added 60 clients in the past four years, mostly blue chips.

Crain's Business

Instead of a broad, generic call to volunteerism, we rely on AngelPoints so we can be more strategic and more focused on social outcomes, which then makes it easier to answer questions about when and how we as a company become engaged. It is CEOs asking questions like these that fostered the creation of a company like AngelPoints, Inc., our software provider.

Evan Hochberg, National Director of Community Involvement, Deloitte.

Tracking the time that employees spend volunteering is nothing new to Atlanta-area businesses. But corporate volunteer managers say improved systems that make collecting and analyzing volunteerism data easier than ever can help companies do more than quantify and illustrate their community service efforts.

The Atlanta Business Chronicle

Embracing corporate social responsibility is not only good for a company’s image, it’s also good for its bottom line. That’s because adopting corporate social responsibility can raise the organization’s profile in the community and boost employee loyalty and engagement.

Andrew Mercy, Canadian HR Reporter

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is big business these days, but that charity goes beyond financial contributions. A study released in June by the National Consumers League, found that only 3 percent of consumers defined CSR as giving charitable donations; far more connected it to responsibility for the environment (12 percent), a commitment to communities (23 percent) or to employees (27 percent). Many companies are now turning to their workforce, instead of their checkbooks, to advance CSR policies. To do so, they are rethinking internal volunteer programs that have traditionally functioned as a forgotten line on a benefit list, mobilizing armies of workers to serve as volunteer ambassadors across the globe and trying to quantify an elusive figure, the impact of their goodwill.
