10/27/14How corporate social responsibility could boost black-owned businessesPolitical preferences aside, most people would agree that it is incumbent upon corporations to exhibit some measure of social consciousness and good citizenship within their communities. In response to this popular sentiment, corporations often engage in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives to endear themselves to targeted communities or demographics. In Madison, CSR initiatives typically take the form of corporations supplying financial resources for nonprofit institutions. |
Sam Owens is the founder of Owens & Freeman, an anti-discrimination law firm that prosecutes violations of fair employment and equal opportunities laws.
