PREPARE A FOUR PARAGRAPH NEWS STORY ON THE INTER-FACULTY LECTURE.

Ghana’s response to global corporate social responsibility has been slow and limited. This has been attributed to weak mechanisms for improving corporate social responsibility of organizations to society.
The acting rector of the Ghana institute of journalism Mr. Kweku Rockson said this when he was delivering an inter- faculty lecture at the institute on the topic “how responsible Ghana has been to the Global Corporate Social Responsibility (CRS) imperative?” He said “the ranking process for the Ghana Club 100 shows a distribution size of 20%, profitability 25%... and social responsibility only 10%”.
He therefore called on organizations to undertake ‘CRS advocacy’, engage in capacity building activities and take into cognizance the needs of society.
To him, this is the surest way of balancing corporate power with responsibility and enhancing the livelihood of people within their catchment area.
