The social responsibility pillar of a robust compliance program demonstrates the commitment to responsible operations that an organization expects from its management, employees, supply chain partners and other stakeholders. The policies and practices defined in a social responsibility program should mirror the behavior and outcomes (i.e., doing the right things) that an organization seeks in all of its operating practices while living up to their respective purpose, values and principles. Too often social opportunities are viewed as “available niceties.” In today’s global economy, the impact of how employees are treated in a vendor’s factory or how a local community is dealt with halfway around the world can determine the reputation of your organization and its brand.
