It is possible to create a culture of philanthropy within a company through the awareness of management and employees. Social responsibility is nothing more than to make sure that one’s attitudes and attitudes can promote the good of a whole. The phrase “Be the change you want to see in the world” by Mahatma Gandhi clearly describes how each of us can and should do its part.

Social responsibility improves the world to its surroundings, be it in the lives of the employees, clients or in the community that the company is inserted. Small businesses can adopt simple and possible practices that will bring great benefits to the community. Punctual actions that generate engagement are of great importance as they awaken people to look around them with the goal of making the world a better place to live.

Not always the social responsibility actions will be tax exempt or any financial benefits. We call these actions philanthropy, which is nothing more than doing good, without looking at whom, without expecting something in return. They are actions of the good with the simple and sole purpose of helping others.

Some internal actions that can contribute in a responsible way with the environment:

1) Avoiding water wastage in companies
2) Double-sided printing on any and all documents
3) Briefly avoid printing paper
4) Avoid the use of disposable cups
5) Separate disposable containers for selective collection
External actions that can contribute to the community:
1) Make campaigns to donate clothes, clothes
2) Collect resources to donate water and spare parts for street dwellers
3) Donate cleaning products to third sector institutions
4) Make a volunteer schedule to visit your neighborhood nursing home orphanages frequently
5) Train storytellers to volunteer in child care and orphanages

Any and every action needs a kickoff. Many institutions need help, from organizing finances, human resources, and collecting supplies to maintaining the institution, all of which can be applied in the third sector in voluntary work. All you have to do is raise a flag and it will not be long before the philanthropists show up to do a beautiful job. Be the first step, be the change you want to see in the world.
