The following is an excerpt from the book.
As a socially responsible business, you’ll want to ensure that your business adds to, rather than detracts from, the economic and social well-being of your community. Whether you’re a storefront operation such as a retail business or local café, a service-based business operating from commercial property, or a solopreneur with a home-based enterprise, your company, for better or worse, will have a social and economic impact on those around you. Even if you conduct 99% of your business online from your home office, your company is still a part of the wider community and your choices as to where you buy your supplies or go for coffee may have a bigger impact than you might expect.
