Through this accreditation, CSG has publicly committed to upholding a purpose-driven business and supporting a global economy that benefits all.
“As we worked through the B Corp Certification process, we realized that the standards aligned extremely well with our mission and values. It was a natural fit and we are thrilled to have earned this amazing certification,” said Susan Blue, President and CEO. “CSG has long been committed to the people in our services, the communities where we provide services and our employees.”
Certified B Corporations are for-profit companies that use the power of business to build a more inclusive and sustainable economy. B Corps meet the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability, measuring a company’s impact on all its stakeholders including workers, customers, suppliers, environment and communities served.
“Certification will help us demonstrate to all of our stakeholders that we put our values into action,” added Bruce Cohen, Vice President Strategy and Innovation. “Going forward, the standards will hold us accountable to continuously improve our performance in five categories: governance, workers, customers, community and the environment.”
As a Certified B Corporation, CSG has joined a community of leaders using business as a force for good. There are more than 3,200 Certified B Corporations around the world, including 61 in Pennsylvania, 19 of which are in Lancaster.
