Local Focus - Why Businesses Should Partner Local Community Groups
Large, high-profile community-based organisations tend to attract the most business support. Smaller, local groups which themselves do very good work often struggle for resources.
Finding and cultivating a partnership with a local community organisation may take a little more time, research and thought, but the benefits are multiplied. And those benefits flow back into the community where your employees and their families live.
A local partnership offers:
More chance of success because both parties want the local community to benefit, and they can actually see those benefits.
A boost in patronage because local residents will see the good work the partnership is doing, and will want to support you.
More flexibility because you can communicate face-to-face with your partner, rather than having to travel to the offices of a national organisation or rarely being able to communicate with them at all.
Improved standing and profile in the community.
Multiplying benefits where you lead by example and other businesses follow suit.
A distinguishing feature that sets your business apart from local competitors.
Greater community capacity and skills from which your business can draw staff in future.
Better awareness of local issues, challenges and trends, and how your business can respond and benefit.
Greater support from staff who will have a sense of ownership both of the partnership and the community it is benefiting.
Higher morale, new skills and better job satisfaction for staff, leading to greater productivity and lower turnover.
Корпорати́вна соціа́льна відповіда́льність
Корпорати́вна соціа́льна відповіда́льність (КСВ) — це відповідальність тих, хто приймає бізнес-рішення, за тих, на кого безпосередньо чи опосередковано ці рішення впливають. Соціальна відповідальність — це концепція, що заохочує компанії враховувати інтереси суспільства, беручи на себе відповідальність за вплив діяльності компанії на споживачів, стейкохолдерів, працівників, громади та навколишнє середовище в усіх аспектах своєї діяльності.
СВБ є добровільною діяльністю компаній приватного і державного секторів, спрямованою на дотримання високих стандартів операційної та виробничої діяльності, соціальних стандартів та якості роботи з персоналом, мінімізацію шкідливого впливу на навколишнє середовище тощо, з метою вирівнювання наявних економічних і соціальних диспропорцій; створення довірливих взаємовідносин між бізнесом, суспільством і державою; покращення результативності бізнесу та показників прибутковості у довгостроковому періоді.
У сучасному світі соціально відповідальна діяльність бізнесу є загальноприйнятим правилом, якого дотримується значна кількість великих, середніх і навіть малих компаній по всьому світу. З огляду на надзвичайну суспільну та економічну користь, що містить у собі соціальна відповідальність бізнесу, питання її розвитку належать до сфери особливої уваги органів державної влади багатьох країн світу та провідних міжнародних організацій. Проявом цієї уваги є розроблення стандартів СВБ і заходів зі стимулювання бізнесу до соціально відповідальної діяльності.
Соціальна відповідальність бізнесу — відповідальне ставлення будь-якої компанії до свого продукту або послуги, до споживачів, працівників, партнерів; активна соціальна позиція компанії, що полягає в гармонійному співіснуванні, взаємодії та постійному діалозі із суспільством, участі у вирішенні найгостріших соціальних проблем.
У широкому розумінні СВБ може бути представлена як система цінностей, заходів і процесів, що мають на меті поширення позитивного впливу діяльності компанії в економічній, екологічній, соціальній сферах як усередині організації, так і в навколишньому середовищі. Реалізація соціально відповідальних стратегій має орієнтуватися не лише на зменшення та запобігання негативним наслідкам діяльності, а й на досягнення економічного, екологічного та соціального ефектів (т.зв. стратегія потрійного впливу), що може розглядатися як основа підвищення конкурентоспроможності окремих компаній і національної економіки загалом.
СВБ поширена серед країн Європи. В одних країнах вона інтегрована в громадську політику (Данія, Франція, Фінляндія, Швеція), в інших – соціально відповідальні практики є виключно прерогативами компаній (Греція, Ірландія, Нідерланди, Словенія). В Європейському Союзі основна роль СВБ полягає у підтримці сталого розвитку компаній, що призводить до покращення ситуації на ринку праці, а також якості продуктів і послуг, що надаються компаніями.
Соціальна відповідальність бізнесу містить у собі процедури і практики компаній з семи аспектів діяльності:
1. організаційне управління;
2. права людини;
3. трудові відносини;
4. етична операційна діяльність;
5. захист навколишнього середовища;
6. захист прав споживачів;
7. розвиток місцевих громад і співпраця з ними.
СВБ в Україні перебуває в стадії становлення. Найактивнішими у цій сфері є, насамперед, представництва іноземних компаній, які переносять на українське підґрунтя сучасні світові практики, принципи і стандарти, а також великі та малі вітчизняні підприємства й організації, які удосконалюють свою діяльність на засадах концепцій Загального управління якістю.
