For business

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR BUSINESS

Corporate philanthropy, when implemented in a strategic way, can truly facilitate positive social changes and successfully strengthen the company’s competitiveness. It should be dictated by both – business pragmatism in risk management, as well as responding to the needs and expectations of the company’s stakeholders – clients, employees, business partners and investors.

CEE citizens expect sustainable and strategic commitment from business, not just responses to crises. What’s more, the social value of products and services is influencing purchase decisions, alongside the brand and price. According to our latest study Philanthropy in CEE 2020, CEE citizens:

36
CONSIDER CSR ACTIVITIES AS AN INCENTIVE TO PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
40
EXPECT THEIR EMPLOYERS TO DEVOTE 2-3 PAID HOURS A MONTH TO VOLUNTEERING
44
ARE WILLING TO PAY MORE FOR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OF SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE BRANDS
66
EXPECT COMPANIES TO BECOME INCREASINGLY INVOLVED IN SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE INITIATIVES

BENEFITS FOR BUSINESS

We believe that when the company’s social commitment skillfully reflects the values of its brand, and the conducted activities are given a sufficiently long time horizon, they can bring the following benefits:

  • support the company’s business goals
  • strengthen the company’s competitiveness on a given market
  • increase brand recognition
  • mitigate business risks
  • ensure a sustainable, systemic social impact
