ABSTRACT

The Human Resources (HR) function is the key partner in embedding Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainability initiatives in any organisation, as this can be achieved only when a company educates, engages and empowers its entire workforce. This chapter proposes that the HR function has a responsibility to be proactive in leading the way in establishing a company-wide CSR-enabled culture. It provides the case study about the bussiness of a woman named as Sharon Black. The Corporate social human resources (CSHR) Manager is responsible for developing and assimilating tools and processes that enhance business and individual capability, in a way that develops a positive and healthy organisational culture, and upholds business principles and values. The manager maintains accountability for the effects of business and individual actions on all stakeholders including society at large and the environment.
