Tomorrow's Leaders: CSR

Hello! Welcome to the Tomorrow's Leaders: CSR Westminster Blog!


What is CSR you ask?

CSR
stands for Corporate Social Responsibility. It addresses environmental, social and economic sustainability with in and around a business. University of Westminster's CSR programme is called Responsibility in Action.

As of September 2008, the University has been building momentum in their CSR programme, aiming for Sustainability of the University while getting students and staff involved in taking action! After all, the best way to get results is to get people involved!!

The Tomorrow's Leaders Programme aims to increase all of our knowledge of sustainability and social & community issues by coming together and educating each other! (students, academics and staff alike)


How will I fit into the equation you say?

It is true that everyone has something to contribute. While some may have more knowledge then others on environmental/social/ and economic initiatives, others may be more creative and entrepreneurial, and others still just wanting to get involved or learn more....THIS is the beauty of the Tomorrow's Leaders Programme - There is a need and a place for all of us to make our university and community the best possible place!

The ethos of this programme is that great ideas start with completely unrealistic thoughts, so feel free to contact us with any idea that you would like to undertake. After all, this is our project, as the community of the University of Westminster.


But, How?

There are a number of ways you can make your ideas heard and implemented. Take this blog for instance, everyone is welcome to post their thoughts, comments, suggestions, and ideas anytime. Alternatively you could contact the CSR Project Coordinators (Shelby and Gayatri) by email: csr.westminster@gmail.com
