| Corporate Social Responsibility |
|
For each business, different measures are taken in consideration to classify a business as "socially responsible". Each business attempts to reach different goals. There are four areas that should be measured regardless of the outcome needed: Economic function, Quality of life, Social investment and Problem solving.
Ideally, CSR policy would function as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby business would monitor and ensure its support to law, ethical standards, and international norms. |
|
| In the increasingly conscience-focused marketplaces of the 21st century, the demand for more ethical business processes and actions is increasing. Simultaneously, pressure is applied on industry to improve business ethics |

| SOS Children's Villages |
|
| SOS Children's Villages is active in 132 countries and territories worldwide. The variety of this international work is brought together by the umbrella organisation SOS-Kinderdorf International, which unites all of the autonomous national associations. |
|
| In all countries where SOS Children's Villages operates, the aim is to form a national association which is its own legal entity, with its own statutes and Board of Directors. Common for all of them is membership of the international umbrella association, and the fact that their Board of Directors work on an honorary basis. Each member association has to comply with the international statutes and principles for education and child-care of SOS-Kinderdorf International, and for financial and administrative practices. |
|
| The national associations are registered and organized as a foundation, trust, association, non-profit company or society. As a full member of SOS-Kinderdorf International, they have the right to apply for funding through the umbrella association, and to request services from the General Secretariat. |
|
| Many national SOS Children's Village associations present themselves in a variety of ways to interested Internet users. Visit national websites in the section "Where we help". |
