SharePeople and Profit
The People and Profit guide has been put together to help prepare small and medium-sized businesses for working with voluntary environmental and social issues, also called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
It is the Danish governments’ intention that the People and Profit guide will serve two purposes. Firstly, to disseminate knowledge about how businesses can take advantage of their CSR activities to boost their earnings, corporate image, and ultimately financial result. Secondly, to inspire managers and members of staff in small and medium-sized enterprises to get involved with CSR in ways which support their core activities.
How to use the guide
The guide is a reference guide and a workbook which allows your business to:
- Identify the CSR activities which are strategically relevant to your business in particular
- Find out more about the relevant activities
- Find guidelines and inspiration for getting started.
The guide is divided into a number of subjects and activities, the description of which is two-fold:
- introduction
- guide and inspiration for working with the subjects in you own business
The instructions are as hands-on as possible taking into consideration that small and medium-sized enterprises in various sectors are very different.
You are not supposed to introduce all of the activities mentioned in the guide. The guide has been prepared as a source of inspiration for a discussion on which activities are relevant to your business in particular.
