Corporate/Social responsibility represents the belief that businesses/organizations should take responsibility for ensuring that all aspects of their operations result in an overall positive impact on society and the environment. In order to implement socially responsible programs, the following factors should be taken into consideration:
- Personal service and community involvement
- The development and use of socially responsible products and processes
- Transparent and ethical behavior
OMBO programs and activities are designed with a focus on ethics and social responsibility. We believe this emphasis brings sustained, collective value to our students, faculty, staff, campus and external partners, and society.
The Office of Marketing & Business Outreach communicates and promotes many of the campus' socially responsible initiatives and, in particular, those associated with sustainability, diversity, and the improvement of worker rights. We will:
- Create a culture of forward thinking and innovation around sustainable issues by integrating sustainability into operations and programs and engaging in dialogue on environmental sustainability.
- Achieve excellence through diversity by partnering with campus affiliates and integrating community participation at both the individual and organizational level to create opportunities for equitable access to education and learning at the University of California, Berkeley.
