The Triple Bottom Line – What is CSR?

		Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR, as it is commonly known) is becoming increasingly important to us all – from our personal to professional lives. It represents the changing behaviour at the local level that will make the greatest impact on global corporate responsibility. As businesses make the changes to shape their triple bottom line, we have entered a new era in corporate reporting – one that will see changes to the national and social fabric of North America. CSR is a commitment to conduct business in a socially and environmentally conscious manner, while maintaining a prosperous bottom line. It is the same for businesses, large and small, public or private, to uphold the values of their stakeholders, including customers, shareholders, employees, suppliers and society in general. By adopting CSR principles, businesses operate in an ethical and responsible fashion, and have a greater chance of success. Green Standards Programs can help you develop and implement CSR policies and procedures.

Community

		A project with Green Standards is an investment in your community. This deep investment into our shared community serves as a lasting demonstration of your commitment to social responsibility. Clients are welcome, if interested, to recommend organizations and initiatives that best fit their Corporate Social Responsibility policies. Support to the under-resourced charitable sector funds and encourages these great organizations in their countless charitable endeavors.

Environment

		A project with Green Standards is an investment in the environment. By providing new life to these assets, the global environment is relieved of toxins, greenhouse gas emissions, and the wasteful processes associated with last-generation cradle-to-grave consumption. Your Project Report will educate and quantify the extent of this relief, to communicate the value in your stance as an Environmental Steward. This documentation can also be supportive of a LEED Certification if it is being sought.

Economic

		A project with Green Standards is an investment in your company. The Green Standards process is a simple, fully managed process available everywhere in North America. As items are redistributed, title is transferred to beneficiaries to eliminate any risk of future liability. This great program is accomplished for what you would already expect to pay for last-generation disposal straight to a landfill. The documentation is provided for clients to receive a tax benefit up to the Fair Market Value of their assets. The greatest overall value of the program is in the positive visibility gained through the Project Reporting and CSR Marketing Solution.

CSR Reporting and Marketing

Our team helps to make your positive decision visible throughout the process; sharing with employees and stakeholders the benefits to the community and environment. Pictures and ‘Thank You’ letters from benefitting organizations communicate the true value and reach of the program. Clients can be featured on the Green Standards Ltd website as ‘Partners In Sustainability’ as well as in our newsletter. Clients are also welcome to display and distribute this reporting, which can speak loudly to value-conscious professional and public communities.
