CSR

Most CSR roles require a degree in fields like business, environmental studies, social sciences, or communications. Certifications in sustainability or CSR, such as those from the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) or other specialised organizations, can enhance your qualifications and improve career prospects in this field.

Skills for CSR careers include strong communication, project management, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of sustainability and social issues. Analytical skills, empathy, and the ability to collaborate across departments and with external stakeholders are also essential for creating effective CSR programs.

CSR significantly enhances brand reputation by showcasing a company's commitment to ethical practices, sustainability, and community welfare. It builds trust with customers, investors, and employees, improving brand loyalty and differentiation. Companies with strong CSR initiatives are often seen as responsible, contributing positively to their public image, attracting support, and fostering long-term success.

CSR focuses on a company's voluntary initiatives to benefit society, the environment, and stakeholders, often through philanthropic activities. ESG, on the other hand, refers to measurable criteria—environmental, social, and governance factors—that influence investment decisions, emphasizing long-term sustainability and risk management in business operations.
