A successful CSR strategy enhances an organisation’s performance and reputation and is incorporated into core business decision making. An effective strategy provides an organisation with a framework to implement CSR, address challenges and take advantage of opportunities with confidence.
We help clients from the development of CSR governance structures and policies through to measuring success. We do this by understanding their business objectives and the priorities of key stakeholders.
Benchmarking: A key aspect of developing or revising a CSR strategy is taking stock of where your organisation is in comparison to other companies, leading practice and emerging trends. We undertake benchmarking across all aspects of CSR to provide an independent view of your strengths, weaknesses and opportunities.
Stakeholder analysis and engagement: Understanding your stakeholders and their priorities is crucial to an effective CSR strategy. We map stakeholders and issues to gain a clear understanding of their perceptions and expectations and develop programmes to open up dialogue. We have an extensive network of relationships with prominent stakeholders.
Policy development: The policies of an organisation set out what it stands for. We review and develop policies that reflect business imperatives and stakeholder expectations. Our aim is to develop policies that are practical, do not result in unintended risks and which are applicable across diverse business operations, geographies and regulatory environments.
Risk assessment: Understanding current and emerging risks and opportunities helps prevent crises, reduce costs and provide a common understanding to support innovation. We help clients assess and manage their most material CSR risks and opportunities. We also review organisations’ approach to CSR risk management.
