What is the stated

mission of the BSR? What does the BSR do? List four benefits to what BSR claims
corporations can achieve through CSR programs. List four well-known companies
that are the members of the BSR.

 The mission of BSR is to work with business to create a just and sustainable
world. We envision a world in which everyone can lead a prosperous and
dignified life within the boundaries of the Earth’s natural resources.
 BSR believes that a just and sustainable world will result when the unique
skills and resources of all sectors—business, civil society, and government—
are aligned toward that goal. The role of business is to create and deliver
products and services in a way that treats people fairly, meets individuals’
needs and aspirations within the boundaries of our planet, and encourages
market and policy frameworks that enable a sustainable future. BSR’s role is
to catalyze change within business by integrating sustainability into strategy
and operations, and to promote collaboration among companies and their
stakeholders for systemic progress toward a just and sustainable world.
 The benefits of what BSR claims corporations can achieve through CSR
programs:

- First, there are internal tangible benefits that can be achieved through CSR
management systems implementation. These include cost reductions, e.g.
reduced human resource costs (less staff turnover, enhanced retention,
reduced training and hiring expenses, reduced medical/insurance costs), or
productivity gains, e.g. improved product quality/reduction in errors. Because
the field of CSR has yet to mature and adequately measure and correlate
concrete actions with results, mainstream business has yet to jump on board.
Some believe that tangible benefits are typically difficult to track and
correlate to CSR improvements. Although both customers and suppliers have
anecdotal evidence of such linkages, the current lack of data makes it difficult
to capture the true internal business benefits of sound labor practices. While
this is one of the intended objectives of the pilots, this requires a longer time
horizon. Pilot participants can continue implementation and track data going
forward.

- Second, there are tangible external benefits that may be achieved through
suppliers’ improved CSR management systems and internal alignment of
customers’ CSR and business processes and objectives. These include reduced
CSR audits, retention of orders, and increases in orders or in price. However,
 Business for Social Responsibility | Building Capabilities to Implement CSR
Management Systems at ICT Suppliers in China 14 suppliers have a lesser
degree of control over realizing these benefits because they are dependent on
customer behavior. Lack of alignment between customers’ CSR objectives
and their commercial objectives can undermine suppliers’ efforts. In addition,
customers often have different CSR requirements. One supplier stated that it
only hears about CSR from one or two customers and that its other customers
have not raised the issue.

- Third, there are external intangible benefits such as recognition of

excellence and improved relationships with stakeholders. This is also an area
where suppliers have less control or influence.
