Specialty Channel: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
 |
This Specialty Channel brings together accounts of Corporate Social Responsibility, including environmental, fair labour and community support initiatives, put in place by the world's leading corporations. We hope that these initiatives will inspire other businesses and institutions to do likewise. Together, we can make Corporate Social Responsibility a default rather than a buzzword! |
Synopsis: The 15th Quebec edition of the CIBC Run for the Cure took place October 2nd 2011 in three cities. The event was held simultaneously in Montreal, Sherbrooke and Quebec City. Almost 30,000 people participated in helping to raise funds for the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation. Van Houtte has been committed in the fight against breast cancer and offers its services, such as well-deserved coffee breaks at fund raising events like this one. This year more than 18,000 cups of Van Houtte coffee were distributed to participants of Run for the Cure across Canada. Nathalie Boudreau, director of the business development at the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation described the partnership with Van Houtte as a "great collaboration". For the past two years, Van Houtte has pledged to donate $50,000 per year to the Foundation in the hopes of helping to find a cure for cancer.

Synopsis: Ferg Devins, Chief Public Affairs Officer of Molson Coors Canada, talks to Alternative Channel about how his company is now engaging with stakeholders.
Devins says that the list of stakeholders keeps expanding due to the rise of social networks and non-traditional press. This includes retailers, the press, consumers and now, anyone active in the blogosphere.
He says that the company's ability to communicate with stakeholders has changed and that the shift is one of dialogue. Companies can now engage in communication with stakeholders through social media.
Organized by NATIONAL Public Relations, the Tremblant Forum has become one of Canada's most important venues for the exchange of ideas on some of the biggest challenges and opportunities faced by companies, governments and members of civil society.

Synopsis: Chris Jarvis, President of Realized Worth, talks to us about why it's important for companies, today, to change their approach when dealing with stakeholders.
Chris Jarvis thinks that companies need to rethink the term "stakeholders". He says that people who are "born connectors" are those that can successfully navigate social networks by transmitting information and connecting people in order to start an online dialogue. According to Jarvis, these individuals should be considered the true "influencers".

Synopsis: Tremblant Forum CSR Series - Cristelle Basmaji, VP Communications, Jacob.
Basmaji says that Jacob is a very consumer-centric company and considers all consumers potential brand ambassadors. For this reason, Jacob gives its consumers an abundance of information regarding its products, campaigns, and designs. With more and more consumers turning to social media, there is a greater expectation for transparency.
She says that while Jacob had always invested the bulk of their efforts in making each Jacob store the main point of communication (through beautiful images, appealing store set-ups, customer service etc), the company soon realized that this wasn't enough.
Jacob believes that new media tools are key when speaking to people outside the store environment.

FIGS, a California-based maker of ties and bow ties, has started a program to donate a school uniform to an African child for each purchase made on its Web site. In Africa, a proper uniform is a requirement for attending school, and those who can not afford one often go uneducated. FIGS is focusing on providing uniforms to needy children in 105 schools in Kenya and Tanzania. The company was assisted in developing the campaign by Ammado, an online network that connects socially engaged companies, individuals, and non-profits in forming active communities.
