Your business depends on the community around it: it is where your staff, customers and suppliers come from. Our Community Development service helps you move beyond one-off donations and build programs that meet real local needs while supporting your own business goals. The aim is shared value, meaning outcomes that benefit both the community and your company.
What you get
- A local needs assessment: a clear picture of the social and economic gaps around your sites based on data and conversations with residents, local NGOs and community leaders.
- A program plan tied to your business: initiatives such as vocational training, local hiring or sourcing from small suppliers, chosen because they fit your operations and capacity.
- Suitable local partners: introductions to civil society organizations and community associations, with clear roles and agreements for each partnership.
- Implementation support: practical help launching and running programs, including timelines, budgets and partner coordination.
- Impact reports: simple indicators and regular reports showing what each program delivers for the community and for your business.
How we work
- Assess: We study your location, workforce and supply chain, and talk to the people affected to find where you can genuinely help.
- Design: We agree with you on priorities, budget and measurable targets, and turn them into a program plan.
- Implement: We help you launch the program with your team and local partners, adjusting as we learn.
- Measure and report: We track the agreed indicators and give you reports you can share with management, staff and stakeholders.
