C-SocPhil Director joins social investors in calling for CSR Office.
CAMBRIDGE, MA — Today the Center for Social Philanthropy’s director Joshua Humphreys, a lecturer at Harvard University, has joined social investors in calling for the creation of an Office for Innovation in Corporate Social Responsibility.
More than 50 U.S. and overseas leaders in the fields of socially responsible investing, international relief, development, human rights, environmental stewardship, and faith-based investing, have called on the Obama administration “to create an Office for Innovation in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to enhance and coordinate CSR activities across the government, at home, and abroad, and to pursue policies and initiatives to strengthen the CSR commitments of the private sector.”
The initiative was led by the Social Investment Forum, the nonprofit membership organization of social and environmental investors. For more information about the Social Investment Forum, please visit www.socialinvest.org.
