SCIT ISR Summit 2018

This Seminar aims to gather Social Activity Organizations and Corporate CSR together at our institution to provide a platform for bridging the gap between privileged and underprivileged children on a global scale. Varied viewpoints by each of the stakeholders are a constructive platform to bridging the gap between. Shaping our common futures is our collective responsibility. We look forward to learn from you, share experiences and develop meaningful insights for our social responsibility activities.

Social Responsibility beyond Charity & Donation

Many times while sitting with clients and brainstorming on impactful ideas, we find ourselves having to separate the charity or donation related ideas from social responsibility. For many, the two are the same. But in actuality they are worlds apart. Maybe it is due to the fact that the outcome of both is to help people. Perhaps the confusion comes from the identical act of businesses injecting funds into a community related project. No matter what it is, Social Responsibility and Charity are completely different things and we’d like to shed some light on it.
