According to the company, Starbucks has achieved many of its CSR milestones since it opened its doors. As per "Global Social Impact Report," these milestones include "reaching 99% of ethically sourced coffee, creating a global network of farmers, pioneering green building throughout its stores, contributing millions of hours of community service, and creating a groundbreaking college program for its partner/employees."
What is Corporate Social Responsibility?
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a self-regulating business model that helps a company be socially accountable—to itself, its stakeholders, and the public. By practicing corporate social responsibility, also called corporate citizenship, companies can be conscious of the kind of impact they are having on all aspects of society, including economic, social, and environmental.
Corporate responsibility programs are a great way to raise morale in the workplace.
Corporate social responsibility is important to both consumers and companies.
