Further Event details
What makes for a high impact corporate philanthropic program?
Based on Corporate Citizenship’s (CC) latest global research, which draws on the insights of companies such as Amway, Unilever, Kellogg’s and Microsoft, find out to what extent companies are moving towards a flagship approach to corporate philanthropy and community investment – where one is focusing activities and resources in a targeted manner – and how to make this transition successfully. Corporate Citizenship’s research revealed that 70% of companies surveyed expect to move towards this flagship approach in the next 2 years, up from just 12% doing so today. Corporate Citizenship has also identified five characteristics of such an approach that if achieved, can ensure not only the programs survival, but also that it delivers impact to society and the business itself. These five aspects are Purpose, Space, Resources, Impact and Story. As companies are becoming more strategic about their social investment activities, real differentiation in the eyes of key stakeholder groups will only come from achieving scale and impact.
