How can you measure the effectiveness of CSR initiatives for board succession planning?

One of the biggest issues of CSR initiatives is the lack of transparency. I believe that "Corporate responsibility is not about making money and give some away, it is about making money the right way".

Como é o próprio Conselho que dita as regras para que o PROPóSITO da empresa seja alcan?ado, tanto o econ?mico, quanto o financeiro e cultural da empresa, ent?o esse Conselho necessita ser constituído por pessoas de forma??es diferentes e complementares. Nenhum Conselheiro saberá tudo de tudo, mas a complementariedade de todos será o grande guarda-chuva guardi?o do PROPóSITO da empresa. Assim, ao estabelecer as métricas p cada Objetivo, também determinará qual Conselheiro será responsável pela eficácia do atingimento das mesmas. Em cada reuni?o trimestral o semestral específica p essa Pauta, será analisada e fará corre??o de rumos, pois o mercado se movimenta c mta rapidez e tem dinamicas próprias.

Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) tied to leadership development. Track metrics like employee satisfaction, talent retention, and leadership training program effectiveness. Make sure you assess the diversity and inclusion outcomes within leadership pipelines. Conduct regular surveys and feedback sessions to gauge the perception of CSR initiatives in nurturing leadership skills. Analyze the alignment of CSR values with leadership qualities sought in succession planning. Monitor the integration of sustainability principles into corporate culture. Ultimately, a comprehensive assessment of these factors will provide insights into the effectiveness of CSR initiatives in shaping a robust pipeline for board succession.

By answering 2 questions, how initiatives are positively impacting the community? & to which extent the initiatives are reflecting the corporate objectives.

Dans le monde de l'entreprise, l'un des enjeux majeurs de la RSE est d'embarquer l'ensemble des collaborateurs. D'abord, pour qu'ils comprennent les objectifs, qu'ils y adhèrent et se les approprient. Cela leur permettra ensuite d'être acteurs de son déploiement tant en interne qu'en externe. La RSE est avant tout une posture et un projet d'entreprise qui doit fédérer quotidiennement tous les salariés autour d'un projet porteur de sens. Il s'agit d'un véritable enjeu humain très enthousiasmant qui redessine les contours des relations au sein même de l'entreprise mais aussi vis à vis de l'externe. La RSE, c'est donc tout le monde, tous les jours !

Once your company’s CSR objectives and vision is established you should have a benchmark to ensure your initiatives are in the right direction. A reliable matrix will help you measure your CSR goals and outcomes. A key performance indicator will provide a quantifiable and accurate measurement of the progress towards the goals. All measures should be considered for the performance improvement and assessment of the CSRs effectiveness.

For large companies in the EU the CSRD will be defining most of the metrics once you have conducted the materiality assessment. Be mindful not to invent you own if you are in scope of the CSRD.

From onset of strategic planning, it should be clear what the picture of success looks like for your program, and defining these through measurable results or outcomes which are ascertainable. Of course, it is essential for all these to align with your goals, whether short- or long-term. It's also important to define objectives which are SMART, but at the same time taking into account that not all measurable results are in terms of numbers or quantifiable metrics, but rather qualitative feedback as well.

The biggest challenge you will face in your CSR application measurement will be the lack of a standardised metrics. For measuring social impact it’s hard to have a universally accepted metrics as the standard of living and sustainability approach is not the same in every country. This is why data collection and analytics becomes crucial for any CSR initiatives. It is a time consuming process to collect data and analysing what is the social impact of your CSR initiative. For a successful data collection and analysis project, stakeholders engagement is important. Their role is also important in CSR social impact measurement. CSR reporting with relevant data plays a key role in communicating your CSR initiatives to stakeholders and society.

Conducting surveys and tracking the progression of individuals who participated in CSR-related leadership programmes can also provide valuable insights. Additionally, monitoring the impact of CSR initiatives on employee engagement and stakeholder perceptions can contribute to a comprehensive evaluation.

A method for gauging the efficacy of CSR endeavours for board succession planning is to employ the SDGs—that one-stop-shop for sustainability metrics—to measure and appraise the CSR achievements of the board and the firm as a whole. Alternatively, the board can execute stakeholder involvement and feedback questionnaires to ascertain the degree of contentment and confidence among the board's stakeholders and their decision-making. For the long haul, the board can devise a board succession strategy that integrates CSR and sustainability standards in the choice and cultivation of prospective board members. These general strategies can, of course, be supplemented by other sustainability metrics, as well as contextually appropriate approaches.

Nowadays, CSR campaigns are more focused on a bigger purpose adopted by the company. It's interesting and somehow crucial to involve the board members in the company PURPOSE, and even consider having them spend time working on the plans developments and even in the execution.

CSR initiatives should be connected to the operations and the impact of the company and should therefore, not be a matter focused on communication but instead ensuring an impact. The communication should, therefore, focus on ensuring the scaling of positive impact through setting a golden standard and creating a race to the top within a sector.

Communication is essential for CSR initiatives and strategy. Both in the process and at the end of each initiative. Communication keeps all stakeholders informed, involved and inspired about what is going on, and allows comments and updates in real time, so improvements can be made along the way. Also, and linked to measurement, is key to build new programs or projects with the obtained results. This will allow for continuity on big bets that are intertwined with the Company's purpose and will also unveil new opportunities to create larger impact.

I’ve been in the hurricane’s eye of the purpose revolution the last decade and have been a vocal advocate. Today, I’ve lost my belief in putting organisations or leaders on that purpose pedestal rallying for change. If you try to fly like superman, you’ll fall like a can of soup. If we are to create change, we have to put people first. I’ll argue that organisations have to chart a different course, where they instead help people to follow through on their needs and their ambitions in life. It’s a move from “why” your organisation matters in the world to understanding how you as an organisation can help me to achieve “who” I want to be: making me matter. It’s a move from being a self-obsessed evangelist to a real leader.

In addition to the outlined steps, integrate ESG factors into the board succession planning process. Evaluate potential leaders not just on past performance but also on their understanding of and commitment to CSR. This ensures alignment with the company’s values and long-term CSR objectives. Finally, engage stakeholders by incorporating their feedback into the succession planning strategy, ensuring that the board’s direction is responsive to the broader community’s expectations.

All initiatives to drive CRS progress for boards and C-Suite executives needs to be directly connected to economics.

The CSR vision and initiatives should be implemented with board approval. You should make them understand the importance of CSR activities and initiatives as this will bring brand value, customer satisfaction, employees confidence and increased profits.

In my previous company we maintained community gardens/ parks and did few forestry projects. We had green energy projects connected with the national grid. CSR initiatives are truly amazing & satisfying. It’s give back to society.

The answer to this question depends on the role of CSR in the firm’s operations. Does the company consider CSR as important as other types of performance metrics? Boards that weigh on this, their responsibilities to society and their fiduciary duty to their shareholders can benefit by implementing CSR metrics. The Board's governance structure (ex A Board Charter) should ensure that reasonable financial and growth targets are set, and achieved and that risk is properly managed while taking into account the interests of shareholders, customers, employees, creditors and the general public. CSR's corporate governance culture including leadership by the Board and executive is critical to CSR's success.
