Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been in the news of late for several reasons, both good and bad. After all it’s a concept, and corporate giants being moved by a concept is something really astonishing. Nevertheless, there are organizations that understand the true meaning of this responsibility and take steps towards improving the quality of life of the employees and their families.
Conservatives in Birmingham discussed, at the party’s conference, how businesses can be used to roll out CSR by increasing energy efficiency in the homes of their employees, which will also help in controlling their carbon footprints and contribute to the organizational control on carbon all over. They also say it will help decrease the nation’s carbon emissions. A carbon footprint indicates the level of dependence and demands placed on nature by an individual, an organization or a nation as a whole. It is measured in units of carbon dioxide and amounts of greenhouse gases produced. For homes across the world, whether in rural or urban areas, carbon footprints can be calculated in terms of dependence with respect to products used and wastes generated.
Food retail giant Tesco is backing the carbon cooperation plan, aiming at curbing pollution from the housing sector that apparently contributes a major amount. The plan is simple; employees benefit by having lower energy bills, and businesses will have lesser carbon issues. The best use of such networks, which exist in every country, can be to possibly decrease carbon footprints and build a defeating impact on global warming that is seemingly taking over the world.
