Realising the True Impact of Corporate Community Investment

Corporations spend billions every year on causes and in communities around the world, and many are talking a good game about how they are ‘transforming communities’, ‘raising aspirations’ or ‘improving lives’. However, new research published by Corporate Citizenship shows that many corporations may struggle to provide credible data to back up such claims, and know little about the long-term impact the investment is creating.

Four Reasons to Be at the Responsible Business Summit this June

Building a responsible business is a lot like baking a cake. Most cake recipes have certain ingredients in common—the flour, the milk, the eggs, and the sugar. The recipe tells you which ingredients to use, how much, when, and at what temperature. All of these affect whether or not you end up with a delicious cake or one that goes into the garbage. Similarly, responsible businesses have common ingredients—sustainable strategies, processes, and implementation practices. However, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all recipe that will spark an overnight business transformation.
