CSR Training Workshop for Industries Historical background of Sustainability – from forestry to mainstream •
Hans Carl von Carlowitz (1645-1714) – Mining Administrator for the Kingdom of Saxony – Silver mining was backbone of economy – Timber valuable but scarce resource for mining
•
Drafting of one of the first forestry treatise – 1713 Sylvicultura Oeconomica

CSR Training Workshop for Industries Consequences for action 1.
Potential for shareholder value from environmental, social, and governance programs needs to be better understood.
2.
Stakeholders needs and demands are the base for meaningful changes.
3.
Applying systematic performance evaluation (data gathering, evaluation and corrective action) can drive systematic improvement
4.
The integrating of effects and impacts of environmental, social, and governance programs with the rest of the company’s finances / performance assessment is crucial.
5.
The role of employees in the value adding process can be enhanced through CSR.
6.
Opportunities of environmental, social, and governance programs to create new revenue streams is not sufficiently recognized. Holistic integration of CSR issues in business planning and reporting is the base to tap these opportunities.
7.
Communication and corporate culture are keys to CSR.

CSR Training Workshop for Industries General requirements for the adaptation of advanced business management
¾ Enhancing creativity and know-how of employees ¾ Enhancing organizational learning ¾ Systematic comprehensive and targeted communication ¾ Creating transparency and managerial awareness of business processes Both, transparency and awareness depend on the ability of companies (particularly SMEs) to collect, process, and analyze respective data
Hence, modern business management depends on availability and efficiency of corresponding systems for data processing system (so-called advanced ICT)
Müller, Opierzynski CSR Training for Industries, 2009
CSR Training Workshop for Industries Reasons for insufficient level of ICT adoption Poor service of support infrastructures result in limited business access and low application levels
While basic infrastructures and ICT equipment are accessible in Thailand, service and support infrastructures are underdeveloped.
Most advanced ICT products are designed for larger firms, not SMEs
ICT firms used to target large enterprises (budget, HR to run state-of-the-art ICT). These products are often too expensive and too complex for SME users.
Limited ICT literacy of SME owners hinders their ability to choose
Many SME owners are unfamiliar with operating a computer, skeptical of the concrete benefits for the core business, and share the stereotype that advanced ICT is only for larger companies.
Limited ICT literacy of employees in SMEs hinders ICT adoption
Even if SME owners have a strategic understanding of why they should adopt ICT, their staff is often poorly trained. Training costs both time and money – resources that SMEs usually lack.
Adopting ICT is not a technical challenge
ICT is a difficult task for companies of all sizes, whether they are in developed or developing countries. The main challenge is, it must go along with organizational and structural changes in companies.
Lack of financing options limits SME ability to purchase ICT
IT budgets are usually small or nonexistent. In addition, adopting ICT is not a onetime cost because there are ongoing costs of maintaining and upgrading hardware and software, and human capacity building.
Müller, Opierzynski CSR Training for Industries, 2009
CSR Training Workshop for Industries ICT for business management Sustainable business success needs adequate controlling and supporting systems.
