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.

What the Texas Ocelot, and Other Wildlife, Can Teach Us About Partnership

It goes without saying that we should not surrender to the notion that a species like the ocelot is headed toward inevitable elimination. Rather, we should work to prevent this from occurring. Thanks to a collaborative effort between private landowners, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), The Conservation Fund, state agencies,​ and innovative companies, we’re demonstrating that endangered species can thrive in the right conditions…

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.

It Is Time to Fix Our Broken Food Systems

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.

For Campbell’s, Brand Value Means Customer Engagement

For several years, corporate social responsibility (CSR) advocates have suggested that companies will lag on solving their environmental and social challenges, putting them at risk – unless CSR is integrated into the company instead of cast aside in a silo. To that end, Campbell Soup Company is one firm that stands out for making CSR critical to both its overall strategy and brand value.
