CSR Guidance and Programming

Historically, businesses in the Philippines have been considered ‘philanthropy’ focused entities when it comes to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) programs and practices. The perspective of social responsibility among companies and their stakeholders has evolved significantly over the past decade, and its integration with ESG or sustainability efforts has become more apparent yet complex. 

A recent survey by the ESG Initiative of The Wharton School of Business affirms the need for strategic alignment of CSR initiatives with company goals. Increasing inclusion of disclosure on CSR-related actions within regulatory filing in several jurisdictions points in the same direction. All these call for more streamlined CSR management and governance in order to effectively implement CSR programs, ensure accountability, and maximize impact on society. 

We help companies develop a business-aligned CSR strategy, provide expert advisory on CSR programming, conduct unbiased impact evaluations, and perform social audits. We adopt international standards and best practices, such as ISO 26000 and SA 8000, UNGC guidelines, and SDG Compact, to ensure a systematic and impactful approach to CSR management.
