Priorities for a Socially Responsible Business
A key priority for a socially responsible business should be the ongoing drive to develop and maintain strong and mutually beneficial relationships with the community. Businesses that take an active interest in community well-being can generate community support, loyalty and generosity.Ways a Business Can Get Involved

- Providing materials, consulting and other resources pro bono.
- Partnering with startups and newer businesses, helping them get off on the right foot.
