Corporate Citizenship Topics
Corporate Citizenship
Corporate citizenship refers to how a company exercises its rights, responsibilities, obligations, and privileges within our local and global societies.
Value of Corporate Citizenship
The value of corporate citizenship reveals that strong corporate social responsibility and environmental performance is no longer simply a "nice to have" element of a company’s overall strategy.
Engaging Employees
Employee engagement is essential to keeping workplace productivity high and turnover rates among employees low.
Impact Measurement
Impact measurement and corporate citizenship create business value within a company and social value beyond.
Community Involvement
Community Involvement includes in-kind and financial donations, employee volunteer days, or enduring partnerships that have the power to bring positive, measurable change to both your company and the communities in which you operate.
Environmental Sustainability
Companies around the globe are realizing business value by increasing commitments and importance of environmental sustainability.
Sustainability Reporting
An organizational sustainability report discloses environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. By disclosing ESG goals and creating progress towards them, companies can improve reputation and build consumer confidence.
Supply Chain Management
Responsible supply chain management presents companies with the opportunity to address inefficiencies and risks, and manage the quality of the goods and services they produce.
Responsible Corporate Leadership
Responsible corporate leadership is an imperative for companies hoping to maximize both business and social returns from CSR initiatives—and it requires involvement from individuals at all levels of a company.
