1 Why CSR matters for PR

CSR is not only a moral duty, but also a competitive advantage for companies that want to stand out in the crowded and noisy market. Consumers, investors, employees, and regulators are increasingly demanding that companies demonstrate their commitment to ethical and sustainable practices, and reward those that do so with loyalty, trust, and support. PR plays a vital role in communicating the CSR initiatives and achievements of a company, as well as engaging with the relevant audiences and stakeholders to create positive and lasting relationships.

Companies now focus on this more than ever. Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream is a great example of why CSR matters for PR. This Brand was an example case I studied about while in college. This company took a look at what they could learn from their products before they revamped or started a new campaign to promote their product. Haagen-Dazs realized their ice cream recipes relied heavily on products from honeybees which were having colonizing issues back in 2009. This was the birth of their Save the bees CCD campaign which took off and showed many of its consumer just how invested they were in the issue. They took this campaign seriously and really tried to make an impact among their consumers and in the environment. This is why CSR is beneficial.

2 How to align CSR and PR goals

One of the main challenges for PR in the era of CSR is to ensure that the CSR and PR goals are aligned and consistent. This means that the CSR activities and messages of a company should reflect its core values, vision, and mission, and not be seen as a mere publicity stunt or a greenwashing attempt. PR professionals should also avoid overpromising or exaggerating the CSR outcomes, and instead focus on providing transparent and credible information and evidence. Moreover, PR should collaborate with other departments and functions within the company to integrate CSR into the overall business strategy and culture.

Remaining Transparent with the goals and how they plan to achieve them is the most important aspect of PR in CSR. Consumers and brands alike can tell if a message is unclear or not being communicated effectively. Remaining Consistent to their message, Clear on their motivations, and organic in the ways they achieve their goals is the best way for PR to involve CSR in overall business strategy and culture no matter what the goal is.

3 How to measure and report CSR and PR impact

Another challenge for PR in the era of CSR is to measure and report the impact and value of the CSR and PR efforts. This requires establishing clear and relevant indicators and metrics that can capture the social and environmental performance and outcomes of the CSR activities, as well as the reputation and stakeholder perception of the company. PR professionals should also use various tools and channels to communicate the CSR and PR results, such as annual reports, websites, social media, newsletters, press releases, events, and awards. Additionally, PR should seek feedback and input from the stakeholders and audiences to evaluate and improve the CSR and PR strategies and practices.

This is true. There are many ways to track what is being done and how those affected view the organization. When waves are made to fix an issue people notice. Targeting audiences who are involved is the most beneficial thing PR can do because they can get consumer perceptions and use that to analyze what next steps should or could be made.

4 How to leverage CSR and PR opportunities

Despite the challenges, CSR also offers many opportunities for PR to enhance and differentiate the company's brand and reputation. CSR can help PR to create and tell compelling and authentic stories that showcase the company's purpose, values, and impact, and that resonate with the stakeholders and audiences. CSR can also help PR to build and maintain trust and credibility, as well as to foster engagement and dialogue with the stakeholders and audiences, and to address and manage any potential issues or crises. Furthermore, CSR can help PR to identify and collaborate with potential partners and allies, such as NGOs, media, influencers, and experts, that can amplify and support the company's CSR and PR objectives and messages.

People want real and involved organizations. Doing good things for the right reasons can only benefit the organization in times of distress. Being pro-active is the best decision to make for any company. Establishing a reputation and following through on what they say they are going to do creates a sense of trust among its consumers and stakeholders.
