Leveraging on partnerships for Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has gained prominence as part of every company business strategy. Companies now consider it an important element in business planning and have set clear frameworks under which their CSR is implemented. Companies like MTN, Madhvani Group, and Coca-Cola have set up entire foundations to manage their CSR. Of late, it has become more common for companies to enter partnerships to implement CSR initiatives. This comes with many benefits but only if managed well, argued panellists at an American Chambers of Commerce (AmCham) Webinar last week, sponsored by Coca-Cola Beverages Africa. According to Tony Otoa, Stanbic Business Incubator Executive Director, partnerships are essential because they attract more organizations to the cause because of brand affiliation. This creates more buzz and shared costs for the campaign. Simon Kaheru, Public Affairs and Communications Director at Coca-Cola Beverages Africa said partnerships increase the impact of a CSR project.
