CSR questions answered

CSR is how an organisation volun-

tarily manages its economic, social,

ethical and environmental impacts

(good and bad) on society. CSRapplies to an organisation and its

people (the public sector, charities,

and businesses) as they all have

interactions with society and the

environment.

Does CSR matter?

CSR originated in the 1990s as a

business response to the unsustain-

able use of the planets resources,

the pressure on people and natureand therefore risks to business. This

pressure has increased, com-

pounded by global concerns like

climate change.

Business is ever more powerful,

in some cases more powerful than

governments, so it is really impor-

tant to engage with it. CSR matters

more than ever.

What is corporate social

responsibility (CSR) and to

whom does it apply?business?

Companies using CSR as a business

tool to help manage risksand iden-

tify opportunities, suchas new

include reduced waste disposal

costs, new partnerships and ways

-

tion, or successful bidding for

contracts.

Good CSR can develop trust

between the company and vested

groups such as investors, bringing

enhanced reputation. Forward-looking companies have been

using CSR to transform the culture

and the very nature of their busi-

ness.

Handwriting vs Typing: The ShowdownAs information technology starts entering

our everyday lives more and more, and as information

workers like myself start working more and more on

keyboards instead of writing on paper. Are there any

I decided to conduct an experiment, where I would

spend some time handwriting on a notepad instead of

the usual clattering hum of typing on the keyboard.

Now, keep in mind that I use my keyboard to do a majority of my writing and correspondences with my circle

of colleagues, family, and friends. Everything from email to instant messaging - even sending a text message

on my cellphone involves dealing with some form of digital input or another.

Has the keyboard taken over my main means of written communication? Has the pen gone extinct? Has the

keyboard mightier than the sword?

1. The Right MethodWriting with a pen allowed me to do a lot (Thanks

Guys :P) more than just write across a page in neat

and ordered way. It allowed me to draw little

diagrams and pictures to help get a point across.

By using drawings and doodles, you can allow

your mind to tap into your right-side of the brain.

This is the side of your brain where creativity and

conceptual thinking exists - by tapping into this

side of the brain, it allowed me to doodle down

some great ideas for several projects I was work-ing on.

2. UnstoppableWriting does not require electricity. Just a comfort-

able working location, some good lighting, and

reference materials. Plenty of great writing has

come about from anywhere from bedrooms to

computer viruses, crash, or irritating pop-up ads

from websites. You can write anytime as well. Noneed to boot up a computer. Just make sure your

pencils are sharp or your pens are full and you

should be all good!

3. The Inner EditorWriting by hand allows you to spend more time on

your words. Unlike typing, which allows you to get

it down before you forget it (which has its ben-

more elegant with the right practice (no pun

intended!)

4. Awareness

this experiment, I noticed that the computersdrone was inhibiting allot of subtle noises in the

background. This was not only calming, but added

some inspiration to my project as well! There was

also no distractions from instant messages or new

pen, and my thoughts.

5. PersonalityWriting by hand also adds a personal touch to your

material. Its a lovely feeling to receive a hand-writtenletter from a friend of a loved-one. Somehow,

the words on the page, and can be much more warm

and appreciated than a dry email.
