Our Responsibility What is Corporate Social Responsibility?
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the recognition that an organization is inextricably intertwined with society and the earth and must take responsibility for its actions in regard to the “triple bottom line ” of people, planet, and profit. Not only do responsible approaches help build brand and reputation, they help strengthen the community and therefore the marketplace. A solid strategic plan, embedded into the business culture, which recognizes the importance of CSR will help to build a sustainable and profitable future for all. MPI realizes that CSR is important to remain sustainable. Strong communities support strong organizations; the reverse is also true. As a global organization, we will look for global strategies that have local relevance.
