Why CSR Should Be at the Heart of Your Corporate Culture

It is essential for businesses to put Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at front and centre of their company’s corporate culture because the benefits are far reaching.. from the community at large, their employees and the company as a whole. Let Palate Sensations Culinary School show you how a company can use a baking team building activity in Singapore to achieve their CSR in our “Bake For A Cause” program. 

What is CSR?

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a company’s commitment to manage its social, environmental, and economic effects responsibly and in alignment with public expectations. It goes beyond legal requirements and aims at doing good through contributions to society.

Key Benefits of CSR for Companies

1. Do Good for the Community

CSR initiatives provide your company with the opportunity to make a positive impact on society. All the baked goods made are either donated to the company’s charity of choice (if they have one) or through The Food Bank Singapore. They are a non profit organisation that collects donated food and distribute it various beneficiaries such as family service centres, soup kitchens and low income families. By donating your employee’s time to bake, this is a way for them to do good!  

2. Fulfil Your CSR Requirements

In Singapore, regulations require businesses to engage in and fulfil CSR activities. By integrating CSR into your corporate culture, companies can meet their legal obligations and enhance their reputation. 

3. Team Bonding and Employee Engagement

When employees participate in CSR activities, there is a sense of unity and purpose as they work together for a cause. At Palate Sensations, our ‘Bake for A Cause‘ program combines baking team building activities with community engagement. Employees work together to bake goods that are then donated to local charities through The Food Bank, making it a win-win for everyone involved.
