CSR executives having a good time post recession with rising salaries and job security
© U-g-g-B-o-y-(-Photograph-World-Sense-)
Good news for corporate social responsibility professionals!! There has been a considerable improvement in job security and salaries even though recession played spoil sports last year. This was found out in a major survey carried among 600 senior CSR executives in the UK, Europe and North America by Acre Resources.

The survey carried out in the month of Jan and Feb pointed out that average salary of UK CSR professionals has shot by 10% in the past year from £49,600 to £54,560 whereas the number of people earning over £80,000 has risen from 12% to 17%.

The increase in salary is backed by high level of job satisfaction and job security. The level of remuneration being offered to CSR executives is in line with the strategic roles being played by professionals in other businesses.

The Robin Hood Awards Round #1 ... Audeamus - How dare we...

Seen that? - The Robin Hood Awards Round #1 ...
View image (Cartoon from BVCA, though not sure if they have the copyright either) Seeing this cartoon above, I name this award half sarcastically. Robbing the rich to feed the poor? Fighting against injustice and tyranny? Robbing and fighting are a bit too harsh of words for what social entrepreneurs are up to, but they are interested in feeding the poor and fighting injustice and tyranny through entrepreneurship, so why not?

The Robin Hood Awards Round #1.5 Audeamus - How dare we...

(Picture from Herra) Okay, so I only had two people vote in our first Robin Hood Awards, and they each voted for two different people. An appalling turnout, or simply a statistical dead tie, it's your call. We are just getting underway here, so bare with me. Since this is my blog and I sort of make the rules (other than the ones imposed by the ruthless wizards that run Creative [...] Read More


Audeamus Social Entrepreneur Awards Round # 4 Audeamus - How dare we...

(Picture from Pace) Haven't done this for a few weeks, basically since we had no votes in the last round of this "contest."

Since we didn't have any votes (besides mine) from Round #3, I'm pushing HeathCliff Rothman [...] Read More

Are companies realizing their corporate social responsibilities? Java Entrepreneur

Today I will not talk about any application development or any other aspect of technology but social responsibilities of corporate. Somebody had said to me 'my friend if you have to run a business you can never run it ethically' but I have an opposite belief. I am aware of the fact that most of the companies do not run on ethics but we have been witnessing a subtle change [...] Read More

Social Entrepreneurs: Make Money, Save the World TJ's Weblog

I heard a piece recently on National Public Radio on efforts in California to social entrepreneurs. It was enlightening. I hadn't realized the dilemma they face. The situation is relatively simple.

Profit becomes a guiding [...] Read More

Lohan Green Toothbrush launched at Go Green Expo

Filed in archive Go Green on March 29, 2010

Lohan Green Toothbrush launched at Go Green Expo
Dina Lohan, Lindsay Lohan mother has gone ahead and launched The Lohan Green Toothbrush at the Go Green Expo in New York City. This toothbrush is aimed at conserving water.

As per US EPA, an average citizen wasted around two gallons of water daily as part of their brushing needs and oral hygiene in 2006. As per an estimate currently the amount of water being wasted daily is around 600 million gallons. Also more than two billion people worldwide don't have access to sanitary water.

The Lohan Freedom brush is expected to emerge as an alternative for people who don't have access to sanitary water. With it users will be able to save two gallons of water every ay as it is water free. The Lohan Green Toothbrush is expected to be available in time for Mother's Day. With the name of Lohan family being attached the concept of Go Green will definitely get the attention it needs.
