Overview

"Responsible businesses achieve success by going beyond compliance to make a positive and sustainable impact on society and the environment through their management, operations and products and through their continuous engagement with stakeholders including employees, customers, investors, communities and suppliers."

OWW Consulting Sdn Bhd: Definition of CSR

Now, more than ever, companies understand the importance of measuring and managing their triple bottom line of Economic, Social and Environmental performance as a way of ensuring successful business outcomes. Financial success is closely linked to good CSR performance and it is now essential for large and small companies to manage their CSR efforts effectively, especially those exporting to Europe and USA or those in the supply-chain for multinationals (MNEs).
