This project requires you to lead corporate social responsibility (CSR) in your organisation by considering two different areas or opportunities (such as environmental responsibility, ethical responsibility, philanthropic responsibility or economic responsibility). To do this, you will work as a team with relevant stakeholders to establish CSR objectives and a CSR Policy and then integrate it into your organisation’s systems, processes and procedures.
Vocational education and training is all about gaining and developing practical skills that are industry relevant and that can help you to succeed in your chosen career. For this reason, we are giving you the choice to base this project on your own business, one you work in or a familiar with, or you can use the case study provided. This will mean that you are applying your knowledge and skills in a relevant, practical and meaningful way to your own situation!
You will be collecting evidence for this unit in a Project Portfolio. The steps you need to take are outlined below. It is important that you are able to access enough information for your chosen business in order to be able to do your assessment.
If you are basing this assessment on the case study, the information you need to complete this project is contained in the Simulation Pack

3. Develop a Draft Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.
Consider two areas or opportunities for CSR in your organisation as you identify objectives for CSR and develop a Draft CSR Policy. Your policy should include at least:
· Policy purpose
· Definition of CSR
· Scope
· Policy description/elements/opportunities
· Roles and responsibilities
Also, identify the stakeholders who may provide input for your CSR Policy.
Plan to integrate CSR across your organisation and describe the changes needed for the integration to take place.
Make sure the opportunities are for two different areas (environmental responsibility, ethical responsibility, philanthropic responsibility or economic responsibility). For example, you may choose to reduce waste in the office and also increase donations to help underprivileged children.
You are required to develop your own policy. Make sure your objectives include specific numerical targets (e.g. replace 10 company vehicles with electric cars).
The following websites may provide guidance for objectives and your policy:
Website 1: https://ccsbestpractice.org.uk/entries/corporate-social-responsibility-policy-template/
Website 2: https://resources.workable.com/corporate-social-responsibility-company-policy
Examples of change management provisions for integrating the policy may be:
· adapting the organisation’s values (updating the strategic plan)
· updating existing policies and procedures that relate to CSR (such as recycling, donations etc.)
· set KPIs (to be added to the strategic plan).
Make sure you have answered all questions in Section 1.
You are required to attach certain documents as part of your evidence – review the documents you need to attach as outlined in Section 1 of the Project Portfolio.
Submit Section 1 to your assessor.

· agree on the CSR objectives
· seek stakeholder input to identify any further additions or alterations required to the policy
· agree on a final CSR Policy
· discuss and negotiate how the policy will be integrated into the organisation including the changes required to integrate the agreed policy into the organisation’s systems, processes and procedures.

· asking and responding to questions as you discuss CSR
· allowing others the chance to present their views
· listening and consider what other say
· cooperating to reach agreement when negotiating.
This meeting should take 20 minutes. It may take place with actual people who work for/are associated with your chosen organisation. Alternatively, classmates or your assessor may play the role of one or more team members.
This can either be viewed in person by your assessor or you may like to video record the session for your assessor to watch later. Your assessor can provide you with more details at this step. Make sure you follow the instructions below and meet the timeframes allocated. If this session is not viewed in person by your assessor, you will attach proof of the meeting to Section 2 of your Project Portfolio.

draft an email to the stakeholders who attended the meeting to distribute the final policy to them (assume that the policy is attached to the email).
Use formal and professional business language in your final CSR Policy and email to stakeholders.
6. Manage change to integrate CSR across the organisation.
Choose one provision from your integration plan (in Section 1) and action it.
Also, communicate the CSR strategy to employees and external stakeholders by creating a notice to be emailed to staff members and writing a blogpost for clients/customers and other external stakeholders.
Use formal and professional business language for your notice and email to staff.
For the case study, you are required to update the strategic plan.
Make sure you have answered all questions in Section 2.
You are required to attach certain documents as part of your evidence – review the documents you need to attach as outlined in Section 2 of the Project Portfolio.

If you are using the case study, additional information to complete this step is contained in the Simulation Pack. Your assessor will provide role-play participants for your stakeholder meeting. You assessor will also have provided review information specific to your CSR policy and objectives (when marking Section 2 of your Project Portfolio).
If you are using your own organisation, make sure you have numerical information available to review the progress made in implementing the CSR Policy (e.g. recycling and waste percentages, number of lightbulbs replaced, financial donations made etc.). Make sure you have access to stakeholders who are willing to participate in a meeting to be viewed by your assessor.
7. Monitor and evaluate Corporate Social Responsibility integration.
First, write a report on the CSR progress to date. Your report should summarise, analyse and present numerical information to determine whether objectives have been achieved.
Use formal and professional business language in your report.
Meet with the same stakeholders you met with previously. At your meeting:
