CITIZENSHIP

We believe that Citizenship is much more than a strand of a Corporate Responsibility strategy – it is a way to understand, engage in and act upon social and environmental issues, for the benefit of the business and society.

It is about bringing the purpose of the business to life through embracing big societal issues and local community themes.

Those are the considerations we have front of mind when supporting businesses with their Citizenship agendas, whether in a consultative or delivery role. Our work includes:

• Designing and implementing flagship programmes, helping businesses to maximise their impact on a particular social or environmental theme.
• Setting up and supporting high impact business-charity partnerships, ensuring there are benefits for both organisations and bridging any cultural differences.
• Devising and running bespoke, skilled volunteering projects, often for senior teams, that tap into their business knowledge and experience and engage them in the social impact agenda.
• Organising large scale business volunteering days, with a focus on skilled projects and building the capacity and skills of the volunteers.
• Measuring and evaluating impact, including acting as an independent reviewer for existing projects, programmes and partnerships.

Across all elements of our citizenship work, we connect businesses and their people with partners and issues that align to business strategy and priorities.
