As in previous years, in addition to covering personnel costs your budget can be used for a variety of efforts. Consider the following practices and policies and decide where you would like to invest time and funds this year. You can continue to invest in areas where you invested in previous years. Remember that your total budget for employees and operations cannot exceed your budget for this year. This year your other actions related to CSR issues will also impact your budget, so it would be wise to not use your entire budget.
