I came across this great article on Corporate Shared Value, which explains its difference to Corporate Social Responsibility.

If you, too, are frustrated with CSR being a 'tick box' with implementation that often feels like it's lacking heart, then take a read of this article from Simone Dowding from World Vision Australia & Change Coffee. It sheds light on how CSV can help us build something more deeply meaningful into our businesses.

> "Shared value addresses a social issue with a business model...It’s an exciting opportunity because the idea is to get capitalism to work not against, but for, the interests of society.
> 
> CSR is useful and generous, but its not scalable or enough to really solve problems and is the first to be cut in a downturn. Corporate Shared Value in contrast embeds new thinking, products, strategies and above all, doing good into the core of business."
