• Unternehmensbürgschaft und Philantrophie

    Mit Corporate Citizenship wird das bürgerschaftliche Engagement in und von Unternehmen bezeichnet. Die Basis bildet dabei eine mittel- und langfristige unternehmerische Strategie verantwortungsvollen Handelns, bei der sich die Unternehmen über die eigentliche Geschäftstätigkeit hinaus als „guter Bürger“ innerhalb und für die lokale Zivilgesellschaft engagieren. Bei diesem Engagement können sowohl ökologische als auch kulturelle Belange eine Rolle spielen. Das Engagement für das Gemeinwohl ist dabei heute nicht nur philanthropisch motiviert, sondern hat Unternehmens- und Gemeinwohlinteressen gleichermaßen im Blick. Beim Corporate Citizenship sollte es idealerweise darum gehen, eine Win-win-Situation zu erzielen, sodass sowohl das Unternehmen als auch die soziale Organisation und die Gesellschaft profitieren. Ursprünglich geprägt wurde diese Form des Managements im angelsächsischen Raum als Teil einer Public-Affairs-Strategie.  more[...]

  • 60 Years of Contributing to the Communities

    Tony Awad, Consolidated Contractors Company
    Consolidated Contractors Company

    Sixty years of continuous giving that is rooted in the beliefs and values of the founders is what distinguishes CCC and makes it unique among other companies. Even before the term “corporate social responsibility” became quite popular in recent years, the CCC founders put giving and care for the communities, employees, and their families as some of their core values, which they have been practicing throughout the history of the company. Their continuous giving to their communities, employees, and their families has left its mark on the thousands of people who have felt their support throughout the years. Their compassion and philanthropic deeds may have grown out of the hardships they experienced in their early years; however, becoming one of the most affluent companies in the world had just multiplied these humanitarian acts.  more[...]

  • From Corporate Handouts to Corporate Partnerships

    Veronica Scheubel

    Philanthropy is about donating to charity without expecting a return. Companies have historically contributed to society in this way. Strategic philanthropy, which is a more modern approach, is about directing corporate giving to a cause that is aligned with the core business. Yet in the 21st century, strategic philanthropy does not suffice in providing leadership. There is a growing demand for companies to move beyond strategic philanthropy to modern community partnerships, co-creating solutions to pressing societal and environmental problems by contributing core competencies and truly aiming for impact. In the process, shared value creation for both society and the company is not only desirable for companies, but also to stakeholders.  more[...]  login_required
