What exactly is CSR?

CSR is defined as the responsibility of an organization for the impact of its decisions and activities on

society, the environment and its own prosperity. Community service programs are one component of 

CSR.

Before we begin…

The Evolution of CSR

Tips for Making the Right Choice for Your Organization

• CSR is not “one size fits all”• Pick programs that meet your organization's 

values-”philosophical fit”• Know your organizational structure• Understand your budget and time parameters • Consider if the project fits the number of 

participants and the physical limitations of participants

• There is always more than one way to be involved

Providing Value to Your Stakeholders

• Consider developing long-term objectives-CSR doesn’t have to be just once a year

• Involve all stakeholders from the beginning• Stand out from the competition and build a more 

positive brand reputation • Organizations who have associates or members 

who recognize the importance of social reponsibility tend to be overall more satisfied with their jobs and more committed to organizational success within their industry(Sirota Survey Intelligence)

• Regularly assess the ROI 

Engaging Your Attendees

• #1 factor…find an emotional connection for the participants

• Use social media to increase activism and enthusiasm

• Extend the benefit though ongoing communication post event

How Your CVB Can Help in Any Destination

• Many CVBs have local partners in “voluntourism”
