While there is no one-size-fits-all formula for CSR strategy, it is widely noted that leadership commitment in an organization is key to CSR success, inter alia. A commitment to responsible entrepreneurship could range from making a donation to managing every aspect of the business according to responsible business principles. Whatever the level of engagement, the first step is to make a commitment at the management to ensuring some level of responsibility. Only when the tone of the top is strong and cascading down to all levels of management and operations, CSR can achieve its objective and brings positive impact to the organization.<\/p>\n
