Corporate social investment is entering a new era in South Africa as companies comply with legislation and respond to the expectations of society. The central question for many companies is whether their corporate social investments are simply a mandatory expense or a strategic opportunity.

We believe that companies can gain a strategic advantage through their social investments, provided they integrate their social-investment strategies with their business strategies. In other words, it is possible for companies to adapt to trends, comply with laws and win at the same time.

Many companies work closely with non-profit organisations on their CSI programmes; this is to be encouraged since working for social benefit is their business. They provide non-profit organisations with funding to act on their behalf.

WAR can host your next Team Building CSI Event, where corporate clients can involve their staff in their CSI compliance strategies.

Please get hold of Carey in Cape Town who manages this division of WAR.
