It’s early days for us yet but we hope we have managed to do at least some of both with this issue.

We want to have a voice, we want to challenge you, we want to get you thinking, we want to give you content that you want to read and - after you have read it - we want you to talk about it.

And we believe that it is important that we provide that platform. Not only does every CSR programme deserve some form of acknowledgement, but each offers a unique insight into the many different forms that CSR can take. Maybe one of them will inspire you to do something new in your space. Indeed, we want to engage you in a conversation about CSR and how the world works. We want to get into a two way dialogue with you. Because that’s how we’ll better understand what you are thinking and what you want and that’s how we’ll be better able to present you with articles and features that bring some kind of value into your world. So, take a read and let us know what you think. We look forward to hearing from you. Until then, have a day.
