CSR: THERE ARE NO EXPERTS

Beware the Expert

CSR: Sometimes a bit confusing?

Graphic borrowed shamelessly from : http://flowingdata.com/2010/04/27/discuss-powerpoint-is-the-enemy/

Page 5: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

Objective

CSR and Value – to discuss a framework and a couple of tools that MIGHT help you to be more efficient at understanding and creating value through CSR investments and activities

RememberThere are no CSR ExpertsWe are all learning

Page 6: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

How to think about CSR (more) Systematically

• Frameworks and systematic approaches to CSR is still an evolving area, despite a lot of progress over the last 15 years

• No one size fits all

• CSR programs and activities can be examined along many dimensions

Page 7: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

CSR: Tools & Frameworks

Value ContinuumValue distribution to value creation

Value AlignmentValue creation

Value SustainabilityExpense or Capital

Not all of these are applicable in

every project/situation and there

are others that could be

developed. What is important is

to have frameworks that help to

understand both individual CSR

initiatives and corporate/project

wide CSR

Page 8: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

CSR Value Continuum©

• Helps to understand aggregate of project/corporate CSR activities.• CSR includes a range of activities from Philanthropy through to synergistic

value alignment (and a well-rounded and developed program would have activities along the continuum)

• Continuum of value distribution through to value creation• Shared Value should be created on all CSR projects, not just those at far

right. Level and amount of shared value/value creation changes but all are about value and shared value

Value Distribution

Value Creation

• Grants/Donations/Philanthropy

• Local organizations/governance

• Education & Healthcare

• Skills training

• Employment

• Procurement

• New products, markets, ventures

meeting in Ghana

CSR and Partners

Who/what benefits from success of this initiative?

What sort of partners would fit with this initiative? (if any)

What value would they receive? Create? (for project and for company)? PNG AIDS/CIDA Inc.

Page 12: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

CSR as a Catalyst

• CSR projects can act as a catalyst to bring key partners to the table

• Why do this?• Increases available resources (financial,

human, organizational, political)• Increases sustainability• Reduces risk

Page 13: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

CSR as a Catalyst• HIV/AIDS in PNG

Page 14: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

Value Proposition

• What Value Gets Created – For Who?

• Who else might benefit?

• Avoid Zero-Sum situations when possible

Page 15: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

Value Distribution

• Grants/Donations/Philanthropy

• Local organizations/governance

it’s all shared

value Every CSR investment and

activity should create value for the

company & for one or more

stakeholders.

Medium Term Value

Long Term Value

• Grants/Donations/Philanthropy• Local organizations/governance• Education & Healthcare• Skills training• Employment• Procurement• New products, markets,

ventures

Does a CSR investment continue to produce value over time

Page 18: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

CSR: What’s In It For Me?

Does CSR make sense without self-interest?

Key issue is value alignment:

Value propositions that align shareholder interests with those of other stakeholders

Page 19: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

CSR Pie, No Matter How you Slice It

Page 20: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

CSR: If not Value, then what?

Page 21: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

CSR: If Value, then How?

• Shareholder Value• Stakeholder Value• Environmental Value• Community Value• Distributed Value• Shared Value• Retained Value• Sustainable Value• Social Value• Cultural Value

• Organizational Value• Created Value• Lost Value• New Value• Reputational Value• Value Continuum• Value Sustainability• Value Creation• Value Proposition• Value Efficiency

Page 22: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

CSR is a SHARED RESPONSIBILITY

•Value for People

•Value for Communities

•Value for Shareholders

•Value for Governments•Value of other Stakeholders

Need to balance interests

CSR is about value creation not Charity

Page 23: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

CSR is a SHARED RESPONSIBILITY

Effective value creation through CSR requires shared responsibility

Depending on project it may include

• Company

• Local Government

•National Government

• Traditional Leaders

•Development Partners

• International Organizations

•NGOs and other stakeholders

Page 24: Csr tools, techniques and frameworks

CSR Value Optimization: Start by Knowing

• Analysis of CSR starts with an inventory of activities and programs and then proceeds to analyze and categorize according to various frameworks

• A simple inventory of CSR activities provides insights for maximizing value – often low-hanging fruit

• Having a common and consistent method to examine and understand activities and projects helps to optimize value

• See Resource Material for example Cameco Community Relations Report
