The European Commission defines CSR as “a concept whereby companies integrate social and environment concerns in their business operations and in their interactions with their stakeholders on a voluntary basis.”

Specialist People Foundation can help companies create and implement an inspiring Corporate Social Responsibility and inclusion model with the potential for truly global impact.

More and more companies today are adopting CSR policies as a way to contribute to the world around them. This can be through charity work, working with local community-based projects, improving staff welfare or by doing pro bono work. But finding the right CSR policy can be tricky; the options are vast and many bear little relevance to the company and its’ employees.

But how about adopting a CSR policy that not only inspires employees but also improves talent acquisition, innovation and has a potential for truly global impact? How about adopting a CSR policy that strives to include rather than exclude people with autism in the workplace? By adopting a CSR policy based on inclusion, companies can become true social leaders by investing in something new and innovative that can help change the way the world views people with autism and other invisible disorders. Think about it: a CSR policy that help eliminate the stigma that often accompanies autism.

It’s rather like the dandelion. Most people view this plant as a weed, a nuisance, something to be rooted out and eliminated. But did you know that, when cultivated, the dandelion is a valuable herb with healing qualities, and is cultivated for it’s wide number of pharmacologically active compounds. Weed or Herb? You decide!

Our Dandelion Management Model helps employers to view every employee and potential employee as unique and helps create a working environment where not fitting in is OK, where differences are embraced and where every employee can reach their full potential.

CSR is not just about doing things right; it’s also about doing the right things.
