Ian's top tips:

  • "Look to your workforce for feedback and ideas and encourage them to get involved with CSR initiatives."
  • "You have to be prepared to be in it for the long haul and to engage with a lot of different communities and people."
  • "Work with other companies to see how they handle their CSR activities. Gain experience and get ideas from them."
