Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

According to Landor Associates, 77% of consumers say it is important for companies to be socially responsible.

Doing good is good business. In the 20th century, only a dozen Fortune 500 companies even issued a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report. Now, the majority do, and more than 7,000 businesses around the world have signed the UN Global Compact pledging to show good global citizenship. According to Landor Associates, 77% of consumers say it is important for companies to be socially responsible. In addition, many companies are following the lead of strategy experts, such as Michael Porter, and embedding CSR into their organizational strategy and operations – calling it strategic CSR. At Social Impact Architects, we work at the intersection of business, government and the social sector, and can help companies – large and small –  create or refine a Corporate Social Responsibility plan to enhance your impact in the community, increase your recognition for exceptional corporate citizenship and community service, and impact your performance through enhanced employee and community engagement. We also conduct trainings for businesses on social sector shifts, such as social innovation and entrepreneurship, impact measurement and collaboration.
