The corporate citizenshipalso known as corporate citizenshiprefers to the commitment by companies to introduce new social responsibilities at the heart of their business strategies, effectively creating a balance betweenenvironmental, social and economic impact of your business. This concept is implemented in various forms and through numerous initiatives, such as interventions in favor of vulnerable and marginalized categories and projects aimed at raising awareness on environmental issues, commitment to the local community and responsible management of natural resources and so on.
The question of socially responsible companies continues to grow, encouraging investors, consumers and employees to use their influence to compel company management to work harder, think more creatively and act in line with ethical, environmental and political values and goals that go beyond mere profit .
Today, choosing to undertake a course of corporate citizenship means having a strategic element capable of positively influencing management models and corporate governance.
It allows you to fuel sales growth, expansion into new markets, reap benefits regarding image and reputation improvement, and therefore the ability to hire the best talent, as well as more effective business risk management and the improved human capital management, allows for cheaper capital acquisitions and establishes an emotional bond and “love for the brand”.
