CSR Strategy

CRA helps its clients to understand the diverse drivers for CSR strategy (corporate responsibility), develop and implement successful strategies, and report on their success. We carry out research into emerging global environmental, social and health & safety themes, benchmark our clients against their competitors and enable them to meet stakeholder expectations.

What is the benefit?

Organisations increasingly are using a CSR strategy to differentiate themselves from their competitors and demonstrate their performance to stakeholders. This necessitates a detailed appreciation of the expectations of all stakeholders, from investors to communities where they operate. Once organisations understand emerging trends in regulation, expectation and competition, they can develop or modify strategies to survive or thrive in the changing marketplace.

Progress against strategic objectives can be monitored using appropriate key performance indicators, as the basis for external reporting.

Why CRA?

CRA has extensive experience of guiding organisations in the development of corporate responsibility strategy and supporting them in implementation programmes. This includes CSR strategies for all aspects of corporate responsibility or for specific themes such as water resources or climate change.

Our specialists undertake research into global and sector-specific drivers, to enable clients to appreciate emerging environmental and corporate responsibility themes. We work with them to formulate appropriate strategic goals and support them in developing company-wide implementation programmes, modifying leadership culture, operational behaviours and management processes.
