LBG Canada Spotlight: Philanthropic Giving Strategy Adapted to Economic Circumstances

Over the past two years, Cenovus has intentionally supported organizations and causes that have experienced increased demand during the downturn - focusing on basic needs, mental health and vulnerable populations with more philanthropically-motivated donations. When the price of oil was around the $100 mark, the community investment team at Cenovus was carefully investing millions of dollars in three strategic areas that aligned with both the integrated oil company's focus areas (learning, safety and well-being, and sustainable communities) and their business values.

Why Companies Like Nestlé Embrace Veterans

Starting a new career can be tough — even tougher when skills that should make you a great candidate work against you instead. Many veterans face an unfair stigma during the recruitment process, in part due to a misunderstanding of the transferable skills that make service members assets in civilian work forces.

As part of their Project Opportunity efforts, Nestlé works with organizations like Hiring Our Heroes to help veterans not only connect with employment opportunities, but also with training in how to develop resumes and interview skills.

Education

The Right to Education Index

As of 2013, 59 million children are still missing out on primary school—and not because they’re playing hooky. Although the Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have prompted increases in primary school enrollment worldwide, gaps remain in achieving the right to education for all, particularly related to education quality and completion of secondary education. For youth entering the workforce, the gaps result in limited employable skills. Given current education trends, youth unemployment rates will continue to grow at critical rates.
