If I were in charge of evaluating organizations to see if we should donate to them I would have some simple principles to follow. The first would be to look at the company through the eyes of a “global civilian” (Hammond, 2016, 10.3). By this I mean I would look at all aspects of the company and how it affects not only its direct consumers and suppliers but also how those relationships affect the people around them. I would ask, is that company doing more good than bad and is legitimately trying to make the world a better place in some form or fashion? The next and major guiding principle for me would be to vet if they are environmentally friendly. This is because environmental stewardship is a process that works towards making sure that the necessary resources and climate will be around not only for the company to survive and continue to thrive but also so that our generations or children to come have the same opportunities. In the end if we are investing in organizations that are negatively affecting people or their environments we as a company would only be succeeding at investing in a future in which the company cannot survive as we have destroyed our environment and our reputation with our consumers.

Hello,

The ability of a company’s managerial leadership is significant and can play a major role in a company’s success. As a manger at my company that would be in charge of corporate contributions,  My criteria would be to focus on quality customer service, a commitment to diversity, and involvement in the community by donating , participating in community activities and programs and creating a recycling program. This will give more ability to attract and retain employees Charitable contributions have the potential to increase shareholder value and charitable donations are positively related to financial performance and firm value, which is consistent with the value enhancement belief. I would want my company to make a positive impact on the world. “Corporate social responsibility refers to voluntary actions taken by firms that are designed to improve social or environmental conditions” (Hammond & Christensen, 2016, sect. 1.1, para 2).
