Philanthropy vs Profit

How technology can help businesses to get it right

Today’s consumers, governments and businesses expect the organisations they buy goods and services from to set a higher ethical standard than they may have done in the past. They often look beyond price, products and services; expecting profit-making companies to also address social and environmental issues and make a recognisable contribution to the communities they affect.

In response to this, many organisations have extended their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes to include activities that deliver some social good.
