Our client is a company that wants to do business in a reputable way and therefore takes Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) seriously. Although CSR is starting to take hold at various levels of the organization, it is clear that the company needs to drive CSR forward in a coordinated way and embed it within the Group and its core business processes. Not only do external and internal stakeholders increasingly expect the company to take a clear position with regard to CSR, also the Executive Board is of the opinion that CSR must become an explicit part of the company policy. CSR should however be approached in a manner that is in line with the company’s business model and build on the company's core competencies thereby differentiating itself from competitors whilst at the same time maximising its positive impact on society.. Line management is responsible for developing, implementing and reporting the CSR policy. Coordination, supporting and monitoring takes place on a central level to stimulate that the company realizes its CSR ambition and to manage communication with external and internal stakeholders.
