New website for corporate responsibility

Jobs Minister Richard Bruton has launched a new website, www.csrhub.ie, which provides advice and support for businesses and other organisations who are interested in learning more about corporate social responsibility and responsible business practices.

The website is an initiative of the CSR Stakeholder Forum which was established last year to help progress the Government's National Plan on CSR. The launch was attended by the chair of the CSR Stakeholder Forum, Brendan Jennings, managing partner of Deloitte, and other representatives from the Forum.

"Increasingly, the manner in which companies engage with their customers, their suppliers, their workers, their physical environment and their local communities is a distinguishing feature of successful companies in Ireland and elsewhere," Mr Bruton said.
