As employers, we know that the Covid-19 pandemic will have an unprecedented impact on our employees. From loss of childcare due to school closures, reduction in family income because of a spouse’s layoffs, or the added expense of caring for medically fragile loved ones, our workforces are likely to be under extreme financial pressure. Now you have a way to help.

I just returned from the 2019 B Corp Champions Retreat, the annual gathering of Certified B Corps and their allies. It’s impossible not to be inspired by a group of 650 other people passionate about using business as a force for good. Just being in the same room as representatives of Dismantle Collective, Patagonia, and Spring Bank serves as a reminder that Valor CSR is in good company and this is the way business needs to be done.
In a recent episode of the Freakonomics podcast, Stephen Dubner stated that “customers don’t seem to care all that much” about CSR, and suggested that firms practicing CSR might be encouraging their employees to behave badly because of moral licensing. I thought it might be a good time to clarify things a bit.
The Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce asked us to present a webinar on Corporate Social Responsibility. If you have 20 minutes or so, the video replay is now available!
Some practitioners are concerned that the brand and reputation gains of CSR don't seem to stick around for long. And unfortunately, much of the research on the long term impact of good social performance is focused on edge cases. "Did Deepwater Horizon affect BP's consumer perception around social responsibility?" Um... duh. Yes. The culprit, I suspect, is actually integrity.
