Business and Community: A CSR Love Affair for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is generally celebrated by personal relationships and uncelebrated in the business world.  However, as most leading sustainable business strategists know, challenging assumptions leads to innovative insights.  Using Valentine's Day as a means to engage with key stakeholders is just that endeavor: leveraging a traditional medium with a sustainable twist.  Why not celebrate Valentine's Day as a means to share and connect with stakeholders in the community?
