Corporate Social Responsibility Representative

Help

Creating a better world requires teamwork, partnerships and collaboration, as we need an entire army of companies to work together to build a better world within the next few decades. This means corporations must embrace the benefits of cooperating together.

Corporate Social Responsibility Representative

In A Nutshell

I create policies for our company to make sure we are doing business in a way that betters our communities, society, and employees.

I communicate these policies and programs to employees of the company, and make sure everyone, all the way up to the highest level of management, is following them.

I help make these policies and programs public knowledge, so the rest of the world can see what we’re promising, and hold us accountable to our commitments.

Important Skills

interpersonal-man-people-communication-Relation

Interpersonal

As someone who represents our company, I need to feel very comfortable talking with employees, government workers, management, non-profit and charitable organizations (basically anyone that wants details on how our company is working towards being a good corporate citizen in the communities where our employees live and work).

Research

Science is ever-changing when it comes to nutrition. Having a strong skill set in understanding and analyzing research is key.

Public Speaking

I have to speak to the media or directly to the public about how our company is acting socially responsible. Being comfortable speaking to internal and external partners is important for growth. 

Persuasive

It can take some convincing to get employees to realize they also play a role in the company’s social responsibility; being persuasive helps get everyone on the same team, and helps the public realize how seriously we’re taking our corporate responsibility commitments.
