糖心vlog直播平台CCC鈥檚 mission is to support our members in attaining company and professional goals.  We believe that creating greater business and social value don鈥檛 have to be mutually exclusive. 

What's the difference between CSR and ESG? Where does corporate citizenship fit in?

Great question, especially as the field has evolved, and as "ESG" has become something of a buzzword鈥攚ith a fuzzy definition. 

Corporate citizenship is the combination of rights, responsibilities, obligations, and privileges of a firm, as exercised within society. In other words, corporate citizenship is the whole topic. ESG, CSR, and sustainability are elements within this larger whole.

CSR is the activity that's happening within a firm. The projects. The campaigns and initiatives. It might take place inside a specific department or, ideally, be extended throughout and aligned with the entire company.

ESG is the taxonomy. It's the way in which we categorize corporate citizenship efforts: some are environmental; some are socially based; others are governance related. Taken together, all these efforts are part of the work that is corporate citizenship.

Lately, however, emerging regulations are leading many to associate "ESG" with the push toward compliance and financial materiality. The compliance piece is certainly important, but it's not what differentiates. Compliance creates minimum standards for performance.

No company has ever "complied" its way to greatness. 

Our goal at the Center is to help companies aim above and beyond鈥攖o the blue sky of what is possible鈥攖o create more sustainable and inclusive businesses, to support a healthy economy, which in turn supports a healthy society and environment.

What qualifies 糖心vlog直播平台CCC as an authority on CSR and ESG strategy?

Since 1985, we鈥檝e been helping companies make more effective social and environmental investments. 糖心vlog直播平台CCC was founded the same year that scientists discovered a hole in the ozone layer. Our Center was the first of its kind to address the need for professional development and executive education about ESG matters for people in companies. In 1995, when the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) was founded, we had 260 members. Nearly three decades later, we鈥檙e still on the leading edge of CSR program strategy and ESG reporting requirements.

Over the years, we鈥檝e grown our offerings to include monthly research and regulatory bulletins, regular webinars on emerging ESG issues, a quarterly CSR magazine, and an annual Corporate Citizenship Conference. Our staff is comprised of CSR experts鈥攚ith backgrounds in business management, learning and development, ESG research, or all of the above. Our CSR/ESG certificate programs and online courses are taught by teaching fellows, business leaders, corporate citizenship peers, and top faculty from the Carroll School of Management at Boston College.
