EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Responsible Leadership Certificate Program has been an
excellent course for me, which has given me a broader
perspective of the Corporate Social Responsibility. Through
this program, I have come to know of various organizations,
which are going beyond their reach to bring a change to the
society. As a young and future leader, I believe that it is our
responsibility to be aware of the problems we are creating as
part of our growth, take ownership and take steps to resolve
them. Through the webinar courses, I became aware that
there are various different ways to work towards CSR and
there is not just a narrow scope of pre-defined objectives. It
is not only an obligation to comply with CSR, but it has
become the top most contributing factor to affect the
reputation of the company. And, if aligned carefully with the
companys corporate strategy, it can generate high profits to
the company both by increasing revenue and containing
costs.
As a responsible human being and as a future leader, I am
thankful that I took this course. I will take this knowledge to
my company and I will have the awareness to make my
companys strategy aligned with the CSR strategy.
