About CSRwire
CSRwire.com is the leading longest serving source of corporate social responsibility and sustainability news, reports, events and information. There is a profound sense in the business community that it’s no longer acceptable to focus on profits to the exclusion of all other factors. We are a hub for a passionate influential community that has realized the value and necessity of Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability. Working with our CSR Member community, we promote the growth of Corporate Social Responsibility and sustainability through solutions-based information and positive examples of corporate practices.
After many hours of debate, CSRwire became a ‘B’ corporation, enjoying the application process, integrating our mission with operating improvements, and reconciling inconsistencies. And as a bonus we received an 80% discount for SalesForce.
CSRwire’s affiliate network and weekly News Alerts provide the vehicle and context where more evolved enterprises share news, events, reports and information about their Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability initiatives. Our members are companies, governments, NGOs and organizations eager to showcase and leverage their corporate citizenship, sustainability, and socially responsible efforts to a global audience.
The Change We Seek®
We seek a fundamental transformation in how the world thinks and acts regarding the appropriate uses of money as well as the power and responsibilities money confers on enterprises. By providing a vital nexus and platform for all those involved in the burgeoning discussion about CSR and related topics, we aim to motivate corporate and non-corporate practices that improve the well being of society and the environment.
