Myths about CSR
CSR is widespread. Not true, only a small percentage of the companies are applying
and following up a proper CSR strategy
Engaging CSR is the key challenge for a global company. Not true, as some companies
in some countries are even struggling with meeting legal requirements in pollution.
CSR is the solution for a better society, and it is only laying on the company’s side.
The companies are obliged to adapt a CSR strategy.
Auditing our CSR strategy is the solution to be transparent. No, as many companies
may only audit part of it. (Only the local processes)
