CSR implies all those ways in which a business promotes added value for society in the environmental, social or economic sphere, contributing itself primarily to generating a greater good. And if the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that the world has its eyes on these companies. Which must go beyond Greenwashing and facade sustainability: the risk is that of losing customers and not being attractive, as well as harming the ecosystem.

It is vital that companies incorporate a CSR system into their business procedures and encourage people to adhere to its values, particularly in the post-pandemic period. The pandemic has indeed reinforced these ideas:

  • Workers love supporting charitable causes
  • CSR influences employer engagement and makes the company attractive to new talent
  • Consumers are increasingly attentive and aware

Among the most frequently mentioned advantages of implementing CSR programs are:

  • Improving process efficiency – during the implementation of CSR programs, companies discover hidden levers of efficiency, which otherwise simply could not be seen. This is especially true of technological processes.
  • Increasing the motivation and productivity of employees – because all employees of the company are citizens, consumers, parents and residents of a particular city, care for the community, for society will be translated into care for employees.
  • Increasing the value of intangible assets – increasing the company’s business and public reputation, reducing the risk of possible market losses, improved access to new markets through better reputation – implementing an active CSR policy is a real benefit for companies.
