Overview of the Corporate Social Responsibility Plan
You have attained the position of global responsibility director for your approved company. Your first task is to review the current status of the company and make recommendation for changes with respect to CSR. After careful review of the status of CSR and stakeholder attitudes, develop a plan for future CSR changes. Be sure to review the existing documentation and extend your knowledge with your own research. Research findings should be properly cited and APA-formatted both within the body of the paper and in the References page.
The report will be submitted to a (hypothetical) board of directors for approval. Once approval is given, you will work toward incorporating your CSR programs as major a component of corporate decision making and activities. Be sure to outline, in each category, how the company's vision and values are exemplified.
If the company has a well-developed CSR plan, your additions should allow its leadership position to be enhanced.

Executive Summary: he executive summary usually is 1-2 pages long.
An executive summary is a short section of a document that summarizes a longer report in such a way that readers can rapidly become acquainted with a large body of material without having to read it all. It will usually contain a brief statement of what is covered in the major document, background information, concise analysis and main conclusions.
Write the executive summary as though it will be distributed to decision makers in the focus organization. The executive summary is an overview of the entire report.
Executive summaries are much like any other summary in that their main goal is to provide a condensed version of the content of a longer report.
Executive summaries are written literally for an executive who most likely DOES NOT have the time to read the original.
The summary should include the major details of your report. Just like a movie might begin with a fight scene or a magazine article opens with a funny anecdote, you'll need a strong hook for your executive summary. The most important part of an executive summary is the first paragraph that clearly explains what the company does.
After the first paragraph, summarize each section of the report in the same order that is presented in the full report. To make the structure as relevant as possible for the reader, you should utilize these categories:
Organization's Vision, Values, and Current Programs
Economic Actions Overview
Political Actions Overview
Civil Society Actions Overview
Environmental Actions Overview
Media Campaign Overview
