LISTEN UP! Doing Corporate Citizenship Better, Together - JANUARY 2022

The RW Institute (RWI)acts as a think tank bringing together various entities representing all sectors, to work towards the removal of barriers to corporate volunteering such as; a) limited resources, b) issues of scale, c) inconsistent global policy and legislative frameworks, and d) limited data to gain buy in and commitments from senior and mid-level managers. These entities typically represent multiple social sectors who come together to form stakeholder tables around the themes of practice, projects and research, allowing for collaboration towards shared goals that promote the practice and theory of corporate citizenship on a global scale.
