Donations as a company
Corporate social responsibility is more than just "nice to have".
Social responsibility reflects your ideas, beliefs, values and the integrity of your company - both with employees and customers.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Employees and customers are increasingly demanding that companies invest in social issues as well as business success. According to a study by the MSLGroup, 82% of the millennials surveyed expect companies to be socially committed. Whether you want to attract customers or qualified employees – CSR is much more than just an image tool for companies. By supporting Switzerland ForAfrica, both people in need and your company will benefit.
