I am excited to be included in
Susan McPherson’s excellent overview in Forbes of what she describes as the most dynamic social innovation initiatives of 2102.
Susan highlighted
Nike’s annual corporate social responsibility report,
which I covered earlier this year for Triple Pundit. We both agree that Nike sets the bar high for engaging stakeholders--and pushing CSR into the mainstream instead of speaking to a small niche audience.
Learn more about Susan’s highlights, which speaks volumes about what various companies and NGOs achieved this year.
It’s a great list:
Intel’s 10x10 and work to improve education for girls
How cause marketing really boosted efforts in the wake of Hurricane Sandy
PUMA as a CSR game changer
Clif Bar and employee engagement
New media properties: FastCoExist and Guardian Sustainable Business
The
#GivingTuesday philanthropic campaign
The annual Social Good summit
Virgin Unite’s B Team
Don’t take my word for it. Read the entire article.
