In Changing Economic Times, 'CSR Support' Encourages Businesses to Rethink Their Values

CSR Support Ltd is a consultancy with a radically different approach to Corporate Social Responsibility.
With their motto of 'Turn the Coin', their priorities for business lie in 'Making our World a Better Place' for everyone - employees, suppliers, customers, shareholders and society in general.

David Skews CEO of CSR Support said:

"Now is the time for businesses to re-evaluate their motives and aims - to question some of the underlying concepts that have driven businesses in the past. Rather than allowing generation of profit to become the all consuming passion, businesses need to seriously review their contribution to the common good. Real profit is not so much an end in itself, but it is the reward for doing business in the right way and for the right reasons."

CSR Support Ltd has been launched by EDP Health, Safety and Environment Consultants Ltd, who have established themselves as a leader in their field over the past 20 years. Caring about health, safety and the environment are seen as important elements in the broader concerns of Corporate Social Responsibility.

The company encourages organisations to do business 'on the other side of the coin'. That means Corporate Social Responsibility should not be viewed as another aspect of marketing and improving public relations. Its focus should be on much bigger issues such as world poverty, environmental sustainability, human rights, equality and freedoms.

David concluded:
"I want all organisations to embrace the time honoured attitude of "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you", regardless of how others respond. You can feel safe with such an organisation; whether you are an employee, a supplier, a shareholder or whoever.
Who wouldn't want to do business with such a company?"
