VolunteerMatch Solutions BPN Webinar - The CR Opportunity with Cone Communications

November 2011 Best Practice Network Webinar series, presented by VolunteerMatch

Session Description:
The CR Opportunity: Companies as Social Partners

Welcome to the world of responsible business. The unequivocal takeaway from the 2011 Cone/Echo CR Opportunity Study, which surveyed 10,000 people in 10 countries, is that consumers globally believe companies have an explicit responsibility to help change the world.

In this session, Cone profiles the expectations and actions of consumers across the world and examine how companies and NGOs can tap this passion for business and social opportunity. Insights Supervisor Sarah Kerkian discusses key insights from the study including how companies can become social partners by engaging consumers through philanthropy and volunteerism.
