CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP ANDYOUR BRANDAuthentic, effectively managed citizenship programs drivereputation and create brand differentiation Visible, relevant, and consistently delivered citizenship initiatives build corporate reputations (and brands) that stand the test of time Innovation helps young companies build citizenship credibility quickly, especially in the technology category Active, local community involvement a major contributor to strong brand reputations Making good citizenship a cornerstone of the corporate vision, values and actions can elevate both brand reputation and performance 23

CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP ANDYOUR BRANDIn short… good corporate citizenship really is good business But in an increasingly transparent world, isolated programs and insufficient, insincere commitment will undermine, not build, corporate reputations The world’s most reputable brands set high corporate responsibility standards for themselves and their partners… and deliver consistently over timePut simply, “A brand is as a brand does!” 24
