HWCTCSL & Our Strength:
In comparison with regular commercial business, Human Cooperative Society has certain advantages or strengths. Our main advantage is that we exists and operates for the benefit of our patron members. At the same time, since the members are also the owners, they have a financial interest in the success of the cooperative which says them toward giving it their full support and patronage.
Cooperative members also have a voice in the control of the organization, and, within the limits of majority rule, it therefore supplies the kind of service they want. These advantages, which tend to tie the patrons to the organization by making them full partners, help build an assured volume of business. This in turn is favorable to efficient operation of the cooperative. A commercial business, on the other hand, has no claim on its patrons except the good will built up through past service.
HWCTCSL - CSR
CSR is the process by which an organization thinks about and evolves its relationships with stakeholders for the common good, and demonstrates its commitment in this regard by adoption of appropriate business processes and strategies. Thus CSR is not charity or mere donations. CSR is a way of conducting business, by which corporate entities visibly contribute to the social good. Socially responsible companies do not limit themselves to using resources to engage in activities that increase only their profits. They use CSR to integrate economic, environmental and social objectives with the company's operations and growth.
