3. 1. The Standard And Intensity Of Research
• A good CSR program, one that intends to have a
significant impact, involves in-depth research through
case studies, white papers, ground-level human
interaction, and other channels relevant to the problem.
• It has been evident through the CSR programs adopted
by various corporations that a thorough research process
makes for a great CSR program.

4. 2. Clarity About The Change To Be Implemented
• In the business world, Corporate Social Responsibility
has found many takers. However, most organizations’
CSR programs seem indistinguishable from each other.
• If you want your CSR program to be a successful one,
you’ll need to ensure that your organization takes a
proprietary and unique approach to effect measurable
social improvement.
• Clearly stating and working towards the objectives,
will ensure a successful CSR program

5. 3. A Single-Minded Focus On The Objectives
• People tend to do best when they focus on one thing
at a time. Organizations, which are effectively large
numbers of people working together, don’t get very far
with CSR programs that seek to tackle disparate social issues.
• There are exceptions, of course, but most organizations
that lead the pack in CSR usually focus all their manpower
and resources on a singular issue.

6. 4. Playing To The Company’s Strengths
• Too many CSR programs take off on a tangent
completely unrelated to what the company does.
The best CSR schemes always directly play off what
the business is and what it does.
• For an effective CSR program, ensure that your
organization’s business strengths aren’t
completely ignored.

7. 5. Form Partnerships With Experts
• The best CSR schemes need to have credibility in the
public eye. To this end, partnering with local non-profit
organizations and social work experts is a great idea.
• CSR programs are here to stay, and by following these
top CSR trends, you can ensure that your organization’s
social efforts aren’t in vain
