Companies use Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) software to manage philanthropic programs and volunteer efforts. CSR software helps users track and measure the impact and influence of their CSR programs, which aim to give back to the community and build a purpose-driven organizational culture. CSR is a comprehensive concept that varies in form depending on the industry and business.
Businesses develop CSR programs to help benefit society and often their local community, while furthering their brand awareness. These programs exist to support the community and are often as important as the company's profit or productivity. Companies have CSR policies and values they display visibly to employees, customers, and investors. Those values aim to ensure economic development and technological progress work to better and advance the world for everyday people and the planet.
CRS programs can help:
Develop local communities
Support education and nonprofit groups
Fund grants and sponsorships
Establish D&I strategy management
Further preservation and conservation efforts
Practice sustainable operations
Manage corporate volunteer pursuits
Companies must have measurable results for their CSR initiatives. The primary features of CSR software allow users to measure CSR efforts by reporting on performance to track their progress and impact. CRS software also supports the coordination, scheduling, and communication of volunteer activities.
CSR software helps facilitate activities including:
Fundraising campaigns
Employee giving
Employee social-emotional health
Company donation matching
Volunteer event planning
Volunteer tracking
Analytics
Companies will also want to share the impact of their CSR programs with others, i.e., customers, clients, employees, partners, and investors. CSR software helps gather the data and content for these communication campaigns and displays the institution's commitment to growth, service, and practice of their CSR values and policies. Thus building positive brand awareness and reach.
It is beneficial to check any existing software or services in use for suite-style offerings. Products found in the following categories may also have the features and capabilities required to manage CSR initiatives:
When comparing products, ensure software includes:
CSR initiative management
analytics of actions of practices and policies
tracking of progress and impact of CSR programs
Donations: Before evaluating software, buyers should understand whether they will use credit card processing and/or payroll deductions to handle employee giving.
Volunteering: They should also determine whether volunteering will be part of the program. If so, will employees be given paid time off to volunteer? Will volunteering be gamified? Such as Dollars for Doers, where employees "earn" company donations to the organization where they volunteer.
Scope: Further, buyers should understand whether philanthropy will be primarily local or global because international giving will require multi-language, multi-currency features.
