Csr stands for

File extensions can be (very) loosely seen as a type system. • .pem stands for .pem itself doesn't specify a data type - just like .xml and .html do not specify the contents of a file, they just specify a specific encoding; • .key can be any kind of key, but usually it is the private key - OpenSSL can wrap private keys for all algorithms (RSA, DSA, EC) in a generic and standard PKCS#8 structure, but it also supports a separate 'legacy' structure for each algorithm, and both are still widely used even though the documentation has marked PKCS#8 as superior for almost 20 years; both can be stored as DER (binary) or PEM encoded, and both PEM and PKCS#8 DER can protect the key with password-based encryption or be left unencrypted; • .csr or .req or sometimes .p10 stands for Certificate Signing Request as defined in • .crt or .cer stands simply for certificate, usually an contains the public key, but it contains much more information (most importantly the signature by the Certificate Authority over the data and public key, of course). There are quite a few other extensions that you will find as well: • .p8, .pkcs8 are private keys. PKCS#8 defines a way to encrypt private keys using e.g. a password. However, quite often, only the inner unencrypted PKCS#8 structure is used instead (which just defines the type of key). The inner structure can then e.g. contain a PKCS#1 formatted private key for RSA or a SEC1 one for Elliptic Curves. [dave_thompson: X9.62 defined commonly-used forma...

Summary. Despite the widely accepted ideal of “shared value,” research led by Harvard Business School’s Kasturi Rangan suggests that this is not the norm—and that’s OK. Most companies practice a multifaceted version of CSR that spans theaters ranging from pure philanthropy to environmental sustainability to the explicitly strategic. To maximize their impact, companies must ensure that initiatives in the various theaters form a unified platform. Four steps can help them do so: Pruning and aligning programs within theaters. Companies must examine their existing programs in each theater, reducing or eliminating those that do not address an important social or environmental problem in keeping with the firm’s business purpose and values. Developing metrics to gauge performance. Just as the goals of programs vary from theater to theater, so do the definitions of success. Coordinating programs across theaters. This does not mean that all initiatives necessarily address the same problem; it means that they are mutually reinforcing and form a cogent whole. Developing an interdisciplinary CSR strategy. The range of purposes underlying initiatives in different theaters and the variation in how those initiatives are managed pose major barriers for many firms. Strategy development can be top down or bottom up, but ongoing communication is key. These practices have helped companies including PNC Bank, IKEA, and Ambuja Cements bring discipline and coherence to their CSR portfolios. HBR R...

Non-financial performance is an ever more important part of business, but that doesn’t mean it is easy to achieve. Attempting to navigate the various terms and acronyms can seem overbearing. There is CSR, ESG, SDGs and all manner of other jargon being used. So, we created this article as a guide to help you navigate these worlds and ensure your business is an attractive prospect for forward-thinking investors. What does CSR mean? Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to the business policy of making positive contributions to social causes. These could include the environment, the community, the wider economy, the health and wellbeing of staff or any other similar topic. According to the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO): “CSR is generally understood as being the way through which a company achieves a balance of economic, environmental and social imperatives (“Triple-Bottom-Line-Approach”), while at the same time addressing the expectations of shareholders and stakeholders.” UNIDO also draws a distinction between CSR and philanthropy or charity work by noting that the latter are external to the workings of the organisation, whilst CSR is more of a strategic business priority. The evolution of Corporate Social Responsibility In the past, critics levelled accusations that “There is one and only one social responsibility of business – to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the ru...

If you’re looking to drive change and track progress with your company’s corporate philanthropy, then you most likely have encountered acronyms like CSR, DEI, and ESG during your research. These acronyms are common in the modern business space, and they can get confusing. In this blog, we’ll explain each acronym and how they can relate to corporate philanthropy. • Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) • Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Within the world of corporate giving, these three practices are quite common. To further explain, let’s review each definition and how they tie together. CSR stands for “Corporate Social Responsibility.” By definition, it’s a management concept or form of business self-regulation. But essentially, it’s a way for businesses to be held accountable for how they impact society, and it greatly affects a brand’s mission and culture. Although it may seem daunting, implementing CSR practices doesn’t have to be. Consumers want to see genuineness, transparency, and consistent attempts to produce results and stay honest and accountable over the long term. Companies can take easy action via giving programs that help them support their communities. While formal corporate social responsibility programs are generally more common among larger companies, smaller businesses still majorly participate with local charity donations and event sponsorships. Sometimes, due to the perceived pressure to make an outsi...

If there’s any aspect of business that’s evolved greatly in the past few years, it’s corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR came from humble beginnings in the 1950s. Companies began to understand that contributing to the communities—where their profits came from—was a smart move that created a virtuous cycle. That’s how corporate philanthropy was born. The challenge in the past has been that this kind of corporate giving wasn’t always aligned with the core business of the company. As a result, companies were making their CSR initiatives without much high-level strategy. They were taking on everything from environmental hazards, social issues, and even governance challenges. Today’s focus is more on shared value. Organizations are addressing issues that are more directly relevant to their business model. For example, coffee companies are addressing how local farmers are treated. Energy companies are taking up the challenge of tackling climate change. While not every organization can find that win-win sweet spot for their CSR, they are out there. With a tightly-focused CSR strategy, brands can build significant value. Beyond making a difference in local communities, companies can increase sales, drive customer loyalty, and recruit better talent with the right approach to corporate social responsibility. It all starts with nailing down the purpose behind how and why your organization is engaging in CSR work. The goal of corporate social responsibility: shared value Let’s ...
