Socio-Friendly new article content ...

Socio-Friendly is used to describe individuals, products, or businesses that have chosen to set policies intended to create a positive impact on our society^[1]. Socio-Friendly is to society what Eco-Friendly is to the environment.

Socio Friendly Companies

Here are some of the expectations of businesses claiming to be Socio-Friendly.

Considerable profit allocation to charity^[2] (most cases)

Creative problem solving- Allowing flexibility in work for their employees has been deemed Socio-Friendly. Telecommuting, sharing a full time job between two people wishing to work part time, and flexible work hours (working 4 ten hour days, working slightly adjusted start and finish times, etc) is Socio-Friendly due to the positive impact it has had on homelife. It is also proving to be an effective tool in motivating higher productivity as well as creating a positive work environment. (most cases)

Involvement in community service- Whether this translates to putting collection jars out to help raise funds for a non-profit, allowing fundraisers on-ground, or employee involvement in community service, this is an effective way for businesses to help non-profits build awareness for various causes. (most cases)

Purchasing Fair Trade Goods^[3]- Ensuring that employees of company AND it's suppliers are an appropriate age, have reasonable pay, and work under clean safe conditions^[4] (ALL cases)

Socio-Friendly Products Socio-Friendly Products are those that have a significant percentage revenue or profit dedicated to a charitable organization or altruistic goal of benefiting society.

Socio-Friendly People These individuals dedicate resources (time, talent, or money) in an altruistic fashion to benefit society.
