Call for corporate social responsibility in business



CORPORATE social responsibility should be part of annual financial budgets for businesses.

Women in Business president and Suva Chamber of Commerce president Dr Nur Bano Ali said this was a critical point to address in the business community.
Speaking at the Women in Business (WiB) $6000 cheque presentation to Save the Children Fiji yesterday, Dr Ali said women were now leading the way to be part of the community effort.
"Women will lead the way by showing the business community that 'yes!' you have to include community work in your business plan," she said.
"Community effort should be part of your business plan and it should be a critical one."
Save the Children Fiji CEO Raijeli Nicole said she was grateful that WiB opened up the door and gave them permission to step out of their comfort zone.
She said partners in development were vital for both parties that would benefit the children.
Vodafone Fiji CEO Pradeep Lal agreed with Dr Ali's call. Vodadfone Fiji is involved in a number of community activities in the country.
