Center for Social Responsibility for Human Development

" Because Human Development is the Social Responsibility of Business."

Vision

In support of the mission of the De La Salle Professional Schools (DLSPS) to develop outstanding professionals and entrepreneurs imbued with humanistic values, the CSRHD envisions itself to become a resource center for integrating into the DLSPS curriculum, culture and governance, social responsibility and good stewardship aimed at promoting total human development and the well being of society and the environment.

Mission

The Center aims to develop among its students and other stakeholders a shift of mindsets from self-interest to the common good and from a solely strategic to a mutually transformative, human development approach to sustainable business.

CSRHD advocates social responsibility for human development by providing the DLSPS family and stakeholders with opportunities to contribute in the empowerment of communities and participate in the conduct and dissemination of researches in business ethics, social responsibility and integration of Catholic Social teachings in business management.

Core Philosophy

As part of a Lasallian school, CSRHD owes much to the ideals and core values of St. John Baptist de La Salle in adding a distinctive angle to the CSR discourse—a view of social responsibility not just as an important corporate strategy but also as an integral dimension of one’s faith. CSRHD calls on the DLSPS administrators, faculty, students, staff and community partners to develop a clear understanding of the Christian social teaching on human dignity, justice, solidarity, and the common good and how to put these principles into practice.

Strategies

Institutional partnerships, Volunteerism and Service learning
