Putting Corporate Citizenship in the Heart of Business
Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Citizenship
The
business community has embraced the phrase “Corporate Social
Responsibility” to capture the essence of business-led investments
to provide access to social services, support the development of
communities and protect the environment. However, as “Corporate
Citizens”
What is Corporate Citizenship?
Corporate Citizenship (CC) is a business
principle and practice that delivers business’ long-term interests
alongside the development of communities, the protection and sustainability
of the environment, and the improvement of the people’s quality
of life.
Any corporate citizen is called as such when it contributes to the
society’s well-being through its:
|
Best
practices in internal management. |
|
Strategic
provision of resources for social development, and |
|
Partnership
with non-business publics and communities. |
PBSP’s Center for Corporate Citizenship
PBSP established the Center for Corporate Citizenship
(CCC) in 1991 to fulfill its vision of animating
and enabling companies to practice CC.
CCC’s vision is to see a business community that is fully and
actively committed to making strategic contributions to the development
of society, sustainability of the environment and the improvement
of the quality of life of the Filipino poor.
CCC tests, evaluates, documents and promotes leading-edge practices
on the following CC areas or themes:
|
Social Investment |
|
Corporate-Community Partnership |
|
Managing workplace Concerns |
|

“These
plans… will not in and of themselves achieve the results
we hope for. PBSP can only succeed with the undiminished support
and consistent commitment of member companies. We need them
to stand firm—to remain active and patient—because
it is precisely in challenging periods such as these that
society needs the most support.”
