Some Questions
- How do you expect to retain the focus on CSR and sustainability in an economic downturn, or, if CSR and sustainability mattered when "things were good", does it still matter?
- What is your organization’s CSR and sustainability strategy?
- Who is operationally responsible for CSR and sustainability?
- What economic measures / targets exist for CSR and sustainability?
- What governance exists providing oversight and monitoring?
- What assurance do you need, what is provided over CSR and sustainability reports and who provides that assurance?
Actions
- If any Director is not comfortable with their own answers to the questions above, there are some action steps that should be considered. These should include:
- Confirm the linkage between the programme and the organization’s short and long-term strategy
- Request an update to the Board of Directors on the programme, the strategy, key performance indicators and key objectives of the programme
- Review the governance structures around the CSR and sustainability programme
- Confirm what assurance is being provided over report content and process.
- Confirm how CSR and sustainability are being embedded in the organization.
