Corporate Social Responsibility

The recent and ongoing global financial crisis has focused attention on the need for better ways of addressing the social role of corporations. At Amplios, we have developed sound techniques for assisting our clients in this complex topic. We do this in our workshops, consulting assignments and corporate performance management software solutions.

The Global Solution - First, change the regulations.

"It's always been said that a price would need to be put on carbon for renewable energy to reach scale. This is the model that's already working in Europe.

On Monday 6 Dec 2009, the USA Environmental Protection Agency took a major step to make that happen, even as Congress waffles on the issue.

By declaring that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health, the federal agency now has the power to regulate them per a Supreme Court decision. This means we could see cap-and-trade or a carbon tax even without a signed bill from Congress."

Many organizations have hidden social responsibilities

For example, many organizations subsidize their prices in particular areas to assist disadvantaged segments of the community. Historically, this may have been seen as a liability, but perhaps it can be viewed as an assets - a demonstration of the organization's acceptance of its social role. This may have a positive impact on long-term investors.
