Prepare and Implement CSR Business Plan

The CSR business plan may be separately described or included as part of the company’s
existing overall business plan. With the strategy, commitments and decision
making structures in place, the CSR business plan helps to ensure that the
words are transformed into effective action. An excellent way of doing this is
to determine what human, financial and other resources and activities will be
required to carry out the CSR strategy and commitments.

The first step to implement this commitment might create a training course on the
distinction between proper and improper payments, with an online version that
includes frequently asked questions. A second might be to review the
organization’s incentive and disincentive structure and to ensure it does not
indirectly encourage improper behavior. A third step might be to involve
setting up a hotline, while a fourth one could be creating whistle-blower
protection measures. In the CSR business plan, each of these tasks could be
further broken down into smaller components, with time lines and resource
requirements for each.
