We can assist business leaders build rewarding partnerships with community organisations under a Corporate Social Responsibility model. Our consultants have experience in developing meaningful partnerships with non profit organisations and community groups both in Australia and overseas.
Sustainable Directions can assist registered charities and non profit organizations adopt Social Enterprise philosophies. There are many definitions of social enterprise however most include an emphasis on trading in goods and services using traditional business principles to achieve social objectives rather than a return to shareholders.
Charitable and non profit organisations cannot ignore their responsibility to the environment. Many charitable and welfare organisations are large employers and have a similar duty of care to the planet as any other business.
We can help corporate organisations establish local volunteer opportunities for staff and clients.
Sustainable Directions can arrange overseas volunteer opportunities in a number of developing regions. In particular we support the work of the 2h Project, an organization that provides help and hope to marginalized communities in South East Asia.
