Align you with a rightful cause
For any planned CSR giving program, understanding the full spectrum of the development topics and carefully choosing the best fitting one in accordance with your area of expertise.
Purpose
The purpose of cause alignment is to ensure that a company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives align with its brand values and aspirations. By aligning CSR initiatives with brand values, companies can strengthen their brand image, positively impact the bottom of the pyramid, and enhance investor confidence. The need for cause alignment arises from the fact that CSR initiatives can be scattered and disconnected, lacking a cohesive strategy. Cause alignment helps companies make informed choices about which initiatives to pursue and ensures that they are consistent with the company’s values.
