Businesses are dependent on their environment. By that we mean on the
people and services in your immediate area. Part of the NEW business model
is to include dialogue with stakeholders in your impact zones and assess
the environmental and social impact of your organization. Itmight sound
complicated but it is not and you are probably already having a
positive effect. Here's a quick check list to consider -
1) Are you really communicating with your stakeholders?
2) Did you choose your dialogue partners carefully?
3) Do you include your employees in your social/environmental
strategies?
4) Do the recipients of your corporate donations provide you with a
regular update on the social good your support?
5) Do you publish your environmental and social benefits for all to
see?
If you answered "No" or "I don't know" to any of
these questions call us and
we can help you to market your existing good work to your clients,
customers, stakeholders and the media.
We all know about the failures like those listed below... Make certain
that
you are one of the leaders and not one of the followers when it comes
to
strong corporate policy and accountability.
