Sustainable CSR

We offer a powerful new tool for optimizing the full potential of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and giving portfolios. With our specialized research as a foundation, we developed a unique framework and methodology for transforming traditional CSR and giving portfolios into initiatives that advance your strategic growth objectives while aligning them with a host government’s economic development goals. We call this Sustainable Corporate Social Responsibility or S-CSR.

S-CSR focuses resources on creating economic and social value by building future markets and improving a country’s competitive environment. This creates true value for your multinational firm because you do not function in isolation from society. Location has a profound effect on your productivity and innovation. Competitiveness – the ability to create, market, and sell quality goods and services – relies on the productivity of your company’s workforce. This is accomplished when employees are secure, healthy, educated, and motivated.

Our research shows that when the pursuit of social value – through CSR or corporate philanthropy – is aligned with improving a company’s competitive environment, it has a multiplier effect on driving national development.

Our proprietary data sets and analytical tools allow us to identify the critical national and regional development issues that guide policy makers’ agendas. This ensures that your company’s CSR and philanthropic efforts will be in concert with a government’s top priorities. When multinational firms are seen as serving larger, long-term, sustainable societal objectives, your strategic position is strengthened, rewarding the investment of your resources many times over.

CSR becomes S-CSR when it leads to enduring societal development. And when that happens, the impact on long-term prosperity is realized.
