Accommodative CSR strategy
An accommodative CSR strategy responds to stakeholder and public concerns by adjusting organisational behaviour and accepting relevant responsibilities. In the traditional classification it is contrasted with reactive, defensive and proactive approaches. It is a social-responsibility stance, not a pricing strategy for hotel accommodation or a generic synonym for adapting products to markets.
Worked example
After consultation with residents and regulators, a plant introduces additional noise controls and publishes progress reports to address concerns before stricter requirements are imposed.
Common mistake
Using the legacy dictionary’s hotel-discount example, which concerns accommodation services rather than the CSR approach.
