Charitable Donations = Greenwashing

There is no special competency you have in picking charities instead of your employees, customers, or investors. If you’re writing checks to charities or matching employee donations, you’re stealing from one or more stakeholders to take the credit- and increasingly they know it

Real Impact Is Embedded in Your Operational DNA

Good corporate impact is organic to business operations, exec talents, and stakeholder needs. Here are just some things you can do that your employees, investors and customers can’t:

1 Reduce the environmental footprint of your operations

2 Ensure fair wages and working conditions

3 Preserve scarce natural resources and protect fragile ecosystems

4 Reward indigenous tribes that created designs and components you use in your products

5 Create circular economies that reuse and recycle

6 Use your market power to ensure your extended supply chain and key partners do likewise

Insofar as an exec's actions in accord with his "social responsibility" reduce returns to stockholders, he is spending their money. Insofar as his actions raise the price to customers, he is spending the customers' money. Insofar as his actions lower the wages of some employees, he is spending their money.
