CSR
What stage of CSR is your company at? I spoke on a panel in organised by CSR Network Kosovo. As always, I saw different levels of CSR maturity, so I shared my 5-stages of CSR: 1. Defensive (legal compliance, risk management), 2. Philanthropic (charity projects, employee volunteering), 3. Promotional (reputation management, public reporting), and 4. Strategic (codes and standards, management systems). All 4 of these (which I call CSR 1.0) have failed to solve our global social and ecological challenges. We need stage 5, Transformative or CSR 2.0 (changing government policies and market incentives).
