Chesloff, deputy director of the MassachusettsaBusiness Roundtable. “Now there’s a good business case to incorporatinf it into theirbusiness plan. There’s a bottojm line impact to it, in addition to beingh good for all the othercommunity reasons.
” Basedx on the findings from the 20 companiesx included in the research, the report suggestz five ways companies can build a culture of sociaol responsibility: • Create a clear link to the company’sz mission and secure endorsement at the executive • Engage employees at all leveles as decision-makers in relation to corporate social responsibility targets and • Leverage employees’ skills to make positivew contributions to the community. Provide opportunities for employees to developnew skills.
