When Companies Support the Right Causes in the Right ways…both the Companies and the Causes they support reap important benefits.
Michael Porter – Harvard Business Review

Re-defining Community Investment

Sharing Best Practices for improving both the social and business impact of strategic Community Investment.

Corporate Social Responsibility and its focus on Community Investment has evolved from being a moral obligation to a business imperative to a competitive advantage. What your business stands for is what will drive people to pay attention to you, want to work for you, purchase from you and adore you.

The In Good Company CSR conference, 2011 brought together thought leaders in the corporate, not-for-profit and academic sectors to explore the evolution of Community Investment, and to share strategies and best practices for creating meaningful corporate community partnerships. 

Learn how to:

  • Define your Social Purpose
  • Identify the right “cause” for your company
  • Select the right charity/non-profit partners
  • Engage your stakeholders
  • Measure your social and business impact
  • Build the FRAMEwork for effective Community Investment
