There is often confusion about what is required to implement, maintain and report on CSR activities. However, many companies may already be doing more than they realise by having certified environmental management systems, good social principles including health and safety, along with chain of custody systems for the procurement of sustainable timber products. This means they may already be well on the way to ensuring “responsible business” practices. Introduction to corporate social responsibility for the timber, construction and furniture industries focuses on the benefits of developing and implement CSR policies, how to begin introducing CSR into management, identifying the main issues for your company, a checklist for sustainable procurement and it also provides a brief review of management systems and standards. It includes a general framework to assist you in developing a CSR plan relevant to your company, or to make a start on implementing good practice.
