Working Definition Of:

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):
Also called corporate responsibility, corporate citizenship, responsible business and corporate social opportunity is a concept whereby organizations consider the interests of society by taking responsibility for the impact of their activities on customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders, communities and other stakeholders, as well as the environment. This obligation is seen to extend beyond the statutory obligation to comply with legislation and sees organizations voluntarily taking further steps to improve the quality of life for employees and their families as well as for the local community.

Important Note

Connections Applied Research Consortia focuses on collecting and researching all types of applied case studies (i.e. projects, business ventures, public initiatives, non-profit organizations, etc.) related to its areas of inquiry.

Thus, we post links and feeds that showcase all types of initiatives with the aim of studying and following their work in order to understand trends and paradigms and make better predictions and recommendations for re-formulation to take into account social, environmental and economic sustainability simultaneously. Sometimes we find interesting initiatives (positive and negative) to study through the GoogleAds feature as well.

Please take note that we do not directly endorse or support the work of any organization posted or linked to, unless we explicitly state so.
