Preface
The world is changing. Expectations from businesses are shifting. New issues are emerging. Companies are embracing novel approaches to deliver value for society.
Corporate citizenship is not just good business, it is a good business strategy. Today global economy companies have realized that they need to design more effective strategies for managing reputation risk and business ethics. People look for transparency, authenticity, and truthfulness from
organizations and their leaders. Organizations back their employees by providing protection in health and safety and allowing them a greater voice in corporate decision-making. Even though Corporate Citizenship has been around for decades, businesses have open-heartedly embraced it recently to differentiate themselves from competitors.
ABOUT US
However, over the past few years, from consumers, rising expectations to declining confidence in the public sector to lack of leadership involvement on environmental and social issues have transformed Corporate Citizenship from a value add to a business imperative that, if ignored, can pose significant risks to a brand. As companies wake up to the opportunity to appeal to a growing customer base with new preferences around social impact there is a need to increase focus on reinvestment in corporate citizenship across industries. Thus, making it important to bring unanimous people together to understand why companies are currently embracing social influence, and what best practices will have the most significant impact on the company.Keeping this in mind, Sapphire Connect is pleased to present the First Edition of the “Corporate Citizen Conclave 2023” centered on the theme “Transforming Business for Good”.
Creating a strong business and /building a better world are not conflicting goals – they are both essential ingredients for long-term success.”
WHAT MAKES CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP IMPORTANT?
It plays a crucial role in attracting new customers, whose purchasing decisions are strongly influenced by the company’s values, reputation, and social and environmental activism.
The next generation of employees is seeking out employers that are focused on the triple bottom line: People, Planet and Revenue.
Just like customers, investors are holding businesses accountable when it comes to social responsibility. At the same time, a company that takes CSR, ESG, and Governance seriously signals to both investors and partners that it’s interested in long-term as well as short-term gain.
FROM THE CONTENT DESK
From “Doing Good for All” to “Making World a Better Place” consumers have more visibility into the source and production of products, along with the environmental and social impact of their spending. With this awareness has come an increased expectation for greater corporate responsibility.

CORPORATE CONNECT
Connecting NGOs with forward-thinking companies to plan their future.
Through this exclusive format we aim to ensure that the NGOs get an opportunity to meet the right set of people from the corporate world with whom they can make a change or drive their CSR Activities:
Role of NGOs:
Every NGO aims to have a large reach by tapping large organizations with a big budget that will help them to meet and serve their purpose. However, meeting these large corporates is extremely challenging. Through this activity, the NGOs will get a chance to directly meet corporates and strike a chord of directly working with them.
Role of Corporates:
Today, corporates try different methods of making an impact within society and trying to meet their CSR activity. Through this, corporates will get a chance to meet different NGOs working for different purposes in delivering the best for society.
