Strategic Planning
Invest in building a durable global and/or local Social License to Operate through projects that have clear long term relevance for a community and a clear exit strategy for the investor.
- Evaluate investment in core project infrastructure for opportunities to use add-ons to build lasting local infrastructure.
- Develop comprehensive and Integrated Master Plans that detail projects by priority, cost, and over time and identify those earmarked for public funding and those suited for private investment.
- Document processes, follow through and collect information on KPIs for reporting.
Integrated Master Plan
Ensure the community has a cIMP, either by using CSR financing to develop one or requiring that the process be undertaken locally. Ensure that any proposed CSR project is scoped to succeed within cIMP guidelines.
Leveraged Investment
Use CSR seed money to leverage a basket of financing options to build on original seed projects identified in the cIMP to advance a community towards its S3C goals.
Performance Monitoring
Ensure that CSR projects are on track and their performance can be measured and reported according to the strategy of the funding company.
Sustained Capacity Building
Safeguard the Social License to Operate and the firm’s reputation by building an understanding of opportunities and choices in the local community to absorb full ownership of projects resulting from deployment of CSR investments.
Inclusive Process
Clear stakeholder engagement from project concept to implementation, documented and validated for each major intervention in accordance with reporting requirements.
Branding & Reporting
CSR Reporting on a periodic basis in support of the social license to operate is included with project branding efforts.
