Corporate Citizenship (CC) is good for business. There’s a positive correlation between investing in corporate responsibility and financial performance. C. B. Bhattacharya, the E.ON Chair Professor in Corporate Responsibility at ESMT in Berlin, Germany and an internationally renowned expert on Corporate Responsibility and Marketing discusses the relationship between corporate responsibility initiatives and creating market value. B.C. Bhattacharya uses market value data and CC data to relate the two of them statistically. He shows that business values can be created when social value through CC initiatives is achieved and that stakeholder perception plays a large role in the outcome. The relationship between creating social value and business values through Corporate Citizenship is the focus of CCCD’s sixth ‘Kamingespräch’.Cast: CCCDeutschlandTags: CCCD, Kamingespräch, Corporate Citizenship, C.

Employee volunteering is believed by many civic sector leaders to have the potential to dramatically strengthen our communities, mitigate humanity’s most stubborn problems and elevate civilization to new heights. Not just any employee volunteering will accomplish this feat, however. Only employee volunteering deliberately designed to efficiently draw from the strengths of its host company or – in other words – strategic volunteering, will unleash this awesome potential for good. Sadly, the formidable force for good contained within employee volunteering is largely untapped. Research finds that distressingly few employee volunteer programs are configured to effectively draw on the companies’ strengths in order to substantively support the civic sector.To maximize civic sector impact involves ending employee volunteering as we know it and shift to designing strategic employee community engagement programs. The well-being of the planet will be affected by businesses’ ability, or inability, to make this transition.Cast: CCCDeutschlandTags: CCCD, Bea Boccalandro, Corporate Volunteering, Kamingespräch, Video and Corporate Citizenship

Corporate Citizenship continues to gain more credibility in the media, although the topic of corporate citizenship and corporate responsibility still has yet to be fully accepted. Furthermore, the media not only serves as a source of information distribution, but also has social (and other) responsibilities like any other business. When media outlets undertake their own corporate citizenship activities, they often fall short of having a coherent strategy. This is the topic which is discussed during the 2nd Fireside Discussion hosted by CCCD along with BMW’s Herbert Quandt Trust. Panel: Prof. David Grayson, Director of the Doughty Centre for Corporate Responsibility at the Cranfield School of Management (UK), Kristina Läsker, Editor of the Süddeutsche Zeitung Newspaper, Prof. Berit Sandberg from the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin, and Jürgen Spanger who is an expert for Social Media.Cast: CCCDeutschlandTags: CCCD, Corporate Citizenship, Kamingespräch, Video, Media, Rückblick and David Grayson
