CSR in Depth: Community Investment
Community Investment is about matching company resources with the needs of communities to have a positive impact and bring shared benefits. Whether your
business is large or small, there are a number of areas where you can take action to have a positive impact on the community your company operates in. In this session participants will come away with some insights into the key aspects of Community Investment
and some different approaches companies apply to Community Investment.
Case: Cirque du Soleil
The two hour workshop will cover:
- How CI sits in the broader CSR Agenda
- From Philanthropy,
to Community Investment to Pro-Poor business strategies
- How to develop a CI strategy
- Different approaches to CI
- Measuring performance of CI -> how can it bring value to both business and the community?
