The magazine would feature extensively corporate social responsibility practices by responsible corporate institutions whose aim among others was to leave behind for future generations, 93a legacy of a healthy and sustainable environment".

The maiden edition, which focused on the Forestry Commission of Ghana and its work,would also have The Professor's Column", which would maintain as permanent features and provide readers with some understanding on CSR through the CSR Concept.

Mrs Vicky Wireko-Andoh, a Public Relations Consultant who is the Editor of the magazine, said change had become inevitable and currently the rapid changes had forced businesses to adapt to the times. "As we share the experiences and stress the benefits in CSR, we believe that the CSR will point businesses to the direction where they would stick to the CSR value curve which has moved struggling businesses to climb heights presenting to them competitive differentiation with access to new markets," she added.
