No CSR Award for Tobacco Company

2009-09-09T10:52:00.005+08:00

Companies that have socially damaging core-business should never be allowed to receive corporate social responsibility (CSR) awards. This is advocated by the Chairman of CSR-Philanthropy Trandisciplinary Action Group (CPTAG USM), Dr. Reevany Bustami.
His talk in a philanthropy conference held at Kuala Lumpur which carries the theme “Create More Givers: A Global Conference on Enhancing the Role of Philanthropy in Challenging Times” received coverage from the CSR Digest, an online portal on CSR development.
Enraged by the recent commendation and special mention under Association of Chartered Certified Accountants’ Malaysian Sustainability Reporting Award (ACCA MaSRA) received by the British American Tobacco Company (BAT) he argues whether a tobacco company, which produces a product that causes social defect could win an award on social responsibility.
“How is it possible for a company that produces ‘poisons’ could win an award on corporate social responsibility? There has to be a comphrensive review on how a CSR award winner should be appraised”.
He added that if BAT truly is trying to be ethical it should not apply for the award as it tarnishes the good name of CSR and CSR practitioners. This includes other organizations that run their company related on gambling, alcohol, weapons, the military and tobacco.
Dr. Reevany criticized the reasoning given by the organizer that the award was based on BAT excellent reporting, saying that most reports are neither transparent nor audited and only reflects the fine side of the organizations.
He also said that due to this poor and incomplete reporting standards, foreign SRI (Socially Responsible Investment) that has fund up to billions of dollars are passing by our country.
SRI defines an investment strategy which seeks to maximize both financial return and social good. In general, socially responsible investors favor corporate practices that promote environmental stewardship, consumer protection, human rights and diversity.
“There is a need for a transparent and audited report so that everything done by the organization is included in the report and not just their good deeds”, he avers.

Uncle Jery's Kids' Nationwide Tour 2009-PUTRAJAYA

2009-03-31T10:27:00.001+08:00

The main objective of this nationwide tour is to encourage children to enhance their creativity and talent at early age. It is because art play an important role in development of children which they can express things that they cannot put into words through drawing and colouring. At the same time, colouring fosters creativity and stimulates the imagination ability of a child.

During the event, around 200 kids take part in the colouring competition which from SK Putrajaya Present 11(3), SK Putrajaya Presint 8(2), Krista, Tadika Cendiakawan, Tadika Perpaduan, Kemas and other school around Putrajaya.

Definitions of CSR

2009-03-23T10:38:00.003+08:00

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development in its publication "Making Good Business Sense" by Lord Holme and Richard Watts, used the following definition. "Corporate Social Responsibility is the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the local community and society at large"

The same report gave some evidence of the different perceptions of what this should mean from a number of different societies across the world. Definitions as different as "CSR is about capacity building for sustainable livelihoods. It respects cultural differences and finds the business opportunities in building the skills of employees, the community and the government" from Ghana, through to "CSR is about business giving back to society" from the Phillipines

Traditionally in the United States, CSR has been defined much more in terms of a philanphropic model. Companies make profits, unhindered except by fulfilling their duty to pay taxes. Then they donate a certain share of the profits to charitable causes. It is seen as tainting the act for the company to receive any benefit from the giving

For instance, the CSR definition used by Business for Social Responsibility is: "Operating a business in a manner that meets or exceeds the ethical, legal, commercial and public expectations that society has of business".

On the other hand, the European Commission hedges its bets with two definitions wrapped into one: "A concept whereby companies decide voluntarily to contribute to a better society and a cleaner environment. A concept whereby companies integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations and in their interaction with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis".

ARTICLES BASE:
CSR can be defined as the systematic commitment of a business towards economic development and work towards improving the quality of life of the people working there thus impacting the lives in the society. Basically, CSR is all about business giving back to society.
