However, it may be that human resources management, environmental work or collaboration with partners are not yet handled under the topic of corporate responsibility. Companies should begin their corporate responsibility work by reviewing their current status, either themselves or with the help of an external consultant. Then, a corporate responsibility programme and work plan can be drafted, along with objectives and timetables.

A risk analysis that identifies the most likely and most severe reputational risks

A SWOT analysis to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with corporate responsibility
