The More You Give

Corporate

  • It’s time for your company to have an effective corporate responsibility programme.
  • At a major US conference in 2007 94% of CEOs agreed that companies should collectively try to move the needle on social issues.
  • The business case is now proven.  Effective corporate programmes:
    • align with corporate strengths
    • are structured, strategic and consistent with business objectives
    • are continuously measured and evaluated
    • are enhanced by collective leverage of companies working together.
    • meet employee and customer expectations which now wish to see businesses investing in the communities they touch.
  • US companies give almost 5 times as much to good causes as their English counterparts because it makes business sense. 
  • If you want to inspire your employees, unite different business centres, improve your supplier relationships, your external reputation, shareholder value and more, a well-thought through strategy for charitable support and involvement isn’t an optional extra.
  • Intelligent companies are increasingly looking at social responsibility and community involvement, but it’s often low priority, or something that’s seen as ‘unaffordable in the current business climate.’

To give away money is an easy matter and in any man's power. But to decide to whom to give it, and how large and when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in every man's power nor any easy matter.

Aristotle

‘To laugh often and much....to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.’

Ralph Waldo Emerson
