Social responsibility programs used to be an exception to the rule in the business world. Today, they are rapidly becoming the norm, particularly with the entrance of a new generation of workers. If price and quality are the same, consumers will choose the companies that show an interest in the welfare of their communities. Millennials are looking for employer brands that show they care. Impact investors are interested in healthy sustained businesses that participate in addressing causes near and dear to their hearts. Supply chain is showing up as the enforcer by escalating requirements for vendors to show evidence of compliance programs, green initiatives, healthy employee programs and a vested interest in their communities.
As a former General Counsel of more than one multinational company, the Founder and President of Cross Sector Institute and the Founder of WGN Global Fund, a 501(c)(3) supporting women in developing nations, Linda Lattimore has witnessed smaller companies being excluded from the bid process for their failure to have these programs in place. This book provides small to medium size companies a primer on how to frame out a social responsibility program allowing them to compete more effectively, attract a vibrant and invested talent pool and draw a new pool of investors interested in transparent, caring and conscious companies. The book offers simple and easy to use checklists, assessments, action plans and immediate access with purchase to online downloadable forms on the Cross Sector Institute website, a gateway to other socially conscious businesses who are committed to sharing their wisdom and doing business a better way!
This book is for small to medium size vendors of products or services who want to expand their market share; reduce costs and increase efficiency; recruit and retain new generations of talent; attract investment funds and serve their community.
Most companies want the public to know that they value integrity, honesty and transparency and that they operate as good corporate citizens. However, what many are just beginning to understand is that a solid social responsibility program directly impacts their bottom line. As Boomers are exiting the workforce, businesses will be facing a talent gap which will be populated with new generations of employees who expect socially conscious business to be the norm. Both recruiting and retaining these workers will require new approaches just as attracting impact investors will require new business models. We know that sustainability programs help reduce operating costs, attract a loyal customer base, impact surrounding and global communities positively and differentiate competitors.
Sadly, even if small to medium size companies are motivated to do the right thing, it’s not uncommon that smaller vendors are excluded from playing with the big guys when it comes time to respond to bids for products and services. Although they may offer some of the best pricing, they often lack the ability to show that they have the required proper corporate governance, green initiatives, diversity or healthcare policies or other elements that constitute an active social responsibility program. Larger companies cannot afford to take the risk and be the deep pocket if litigation appears because critical programs weren’t in place at all levels of the supply chain.
This book is a primer to assist forward-thinking companies in creating a basic program within their budget. It takes a look at integrating their social responsibility initiatives with their business strategies, identifying their core team, the stakeholders they affect and how their programs will offer the most impact with the greatest return. With the purchase of the book, this audience will be able to download worksheets, assessments and videos online. And they will be given the opportunity to become part of a greater community of “Solutionaries” eager help solve some of the greatest social issues on our planet, while they make a solid return.

Hello, I’m Linda Lattimore, the Founder of Cross Sector Institute. People ask me why helping companies create social responsibility programs is so important to me. After 35 years as an entrepreneur, a practicing attorney and a member of the C-Suite of a number of global companies, I’m simply ready for us to do business a better way, more conscious of our impact to our planet and the people that inhabit it including our employees, investors, suppliers and communities. Many of you have decided to create a social responsibility program because you realize that you must have it to compete in this aggressive business landscape. Social responsibility programs have become the norm, not just a “nice to have.” But, I want to remind you of deeper equally important reasons that you and your company are on this journey. Here are some sobering facts.
Today:
Society has finally realized that the problems of the world are not “theirs”, they are ours to solve and our business world can no longer leave the responsibility to the non-profits or the governments of the world for whom the job is too big. We understand that we cannot look apathetically away or we may find ourselves face to face with the very same challenges in our own backyard. Fortunately, you are part of a group of Renaissance companies that are stepping up.
Most companies want the public to know that they value integrity, honesty and transparency and that they operate as good corporate citizens. However, what many are just beginning to understand is that with a solid social responsibility program in place, employee turnover begins to decrease, purchasing efficiencies become obvious and overall operating costs drop, a direct bonus to their bottom line. And, their customers become more loyal than ever, not just to their product or service, which isn’t always easy to differentiate from competitors, but to the company which is now perceived to be a partner to their communities.
Sadly, even if small to medium size companies are motivated to do the right thing, it’s not uncommon that smaller vendors are excluded from playing with the big guys when it comes time to respond to bids for products and services. Although they may offer some of the best pricing, they often lack the ability to show that they have the required proper corporate governance, green initiatives, diversity or health care policies or other elements that constitute an active social responsibility program. Larger companies cannot afford to take the risk and be the deep pocket if litigation shows up because critical programs weren’t in place at all levels of the supply chain.
This is why I put together the Social Responsibility Toolkit for you, a primer on how to set up a basic program within your budget. Throughout this book which is supported by our online class, we will be discussing how to create your social responsibility strategy and how it integrates with your business strategy, help you identify who should be on your team, talk about programs and their effects on your various stakeholders and how to prepare for a talent gap that may be coming your way with the exit of the Baby Boomers and the entrance of the Millennials who fully expect companies to be socially responsible.
As you go through this workbook, we will work together to define and execute your Social Responsibility (SR) strategy. Not only will this position your company as a leader in your industry it will enable you to:
So, kudos to you for understanding the importance of being a responsible and compassionate corporate citizen. You are joining the ranks of other brilliant individuals such as Gates, Skoll and Zuckerberg interested in bringing meaning and purpose to the collective wealth of knowledge at their conference tables in addition to sustainable and responsible business. I’m excited to help you create a tapestry of programs that you are proud of in support of loyal employees, consumers, investors and your community. So, what do you say, let’s get started!
