What is your company doing to help the local community, and how has it benefited your business? Or are Corporate Social Responsibility policies a waste of time?

Interesting question Claire.

I am currently looking at this from both sides and asking the same. From a community enterprise position of how can business help us, and from a corporate view of what can we achieve from helping community enterprises.

Often CSR policies are a waste of time - they are there because we feel we need one - to win work, to hit various tick boxes etc rather than any real intent.

Where they work though they effective in engaging the organisation with its community resulting in better people relationships - often seen through the fm activities. Moving to a community based fm approach ( but thats another post)

Just joined the debate here - wish I did earlier in the week now !
