Philanthropy and cause marketing are evolving from discrete marketing tactics to comprehensive business strategies. Leading companies are moving beyond single-issue partnerships to evaluate how societal needs can drive business growth. The future of cause will see companies taking a longer-term approach that translates values into action across social engagement, global citizenship, reputation management, and more. External examples show how causes like Dove's Self Esteem Fund and the American Heart Association make real change while connecting to corporate missions and consumers.

Beyond the Brand: Why Business Decision Makers Buy Into Strong Culturesgyro
The FORTUNE Knowledge Group and gyro produced a groundbreaking global study that shows how culture has taken the lead as the primary driver of long-term business relationships.
Five hundred global execs (director level or higher) were polled. The key finding: decision makers place a huge value on a business partner’s culture, what the company stands for and whether or not they back up their values.
In this study, we found:
60% of respondents said knowing what a company stands for is much more important than innovativeness and market dominance.
60% prefer a partner’s intent on doing what’s right even if it doesn’t maximize revenue.
81% agree that companies successful at long-term relationships make a direct correlation between their beliefs and the way they conduct business.
Moving gradually but with the brute force of a tsunami, the natural movement is flowing through every aisle in every store near you, churning up tough questions for every growth-minded consumer-facing business and its innovation efforts.
In our newest white paper, we examine this movement and how we believe it will impact businesses globally.
CSIC research fellow Tracey Wright interviews 12 DC-area small businesses to explore how they use social media to communicate their socially responsible business practices to their stakeholders.

Living Business: Achieving Sustainable Growth Through Hyper-RelevanceAccenture Insurance
Driving growth is always at the top of every CEO’s agenda, but the path to success isn’t what it used to be. Customer loyalty, once a dependable source of stability and growth, has been upended by emerging technologies.
What are the keys to sustainable growth in a world where market turbulence is the norm?
Accenture undertook a major research initiative in 2018 to determine how leaders in sustainable growth are different from their peers. We found that these companies are agile, moving nimbly and continuously to accommodate customers’ ever evolving needs with speed and scale. They are pivoting their growth strategies to profitable areas beyond the core – and they are funding new growth by optimizing costs elsewhere. And they have developed five interdependent sets of capabilities which represent the keys to growth in the future.

9. CAUSE PAST: The Birthplace of Cause Marketing
Twenty-five years ago, American Express embarked on an inspired,
but seemingly simple marketing initiative. To increase consumer
use of its card and recruit new users, the company partnered
with one of the country’s preeminent landmarks, the Statue of
Liberty. Each time a consumer used his or her American Express
Card during the course of the three-month campaign, one penny
was donated to the restoration of the historic site, and for each
new card application, American Express donated $1.00.
The company contributed $1.7 million to the Statue of Liberty
through the promotion and proved to the business world that
aligning with a cause is a viable strategy to boost sales - consumer
card usage increased by 27 percent and new applications
grew by 45 percent. Through this memorable campaign, American
Express coined the term “cause-related marketing,” which has today
evolved from a marketing tactic to a powerful business strategy.
10. CAUSE PRESENT: A BUSINESS STRATEGY

9lytXuJ8wg&feature=channel
How does this affect their company’s core values,
mission, principles and policies?
11. CAUSE FUTURE:
BETTER BUSINESS. GREATER GOOD.
As the sea of pink ribbons washes over the country today, there
is no question that corporate support of causes is here to stay.
However, leading organizations are moving away from “assembly line
cause” (selecting an issue and partner off the shelf) as they evaluate the
shared value of how societal needs and business growth are intrinsically
linked. Companies must not only answer, “What do you stand for?” but also
“What do you do?”
In the future, companies will look beyond a single program
representing a discrete moment in time to a longer-term,
comprehensive approach that translates their values into action.
Cause is evolving to new models of social engagement and
global citizenship as companies evaluate opportunities to drive
change. Leaders will approach their Cause Branding initiatives
with renewed vigor, reasserting their responsibility to society,
not solely as philanthropy, but as a driving force of business
growth, including reputation management, license to operate,
new market development, product innovation and employee
recruitment and retention.
12. External Case Study:
We developed the Dove Self-Esteem Fund to make real change in the way women and young girls perceive
and embrace beauty. We want to help free ourselves and the next generation from beauty stereotypes.
Too many girls develop low self-esteem from hang-ups about looks. Consequently, many fail to reach their
full potential later in life. The Dove Self-Esteem Fund is an agent of change to educate and inspire girls on a
wider definition of beauty.
To make change possible, the Dove Self-Esteem Fund focuses its efforts to foster positive image-related self-
esteem in two areas of activity:
•The Fund develops and distributes resources that enable and empower women and girls to embrace a
broad definition of beauty
•The Fund provides needed resources to organizations that foster a broader definition of beauty
It is our mission to continue to provide the tools and support to individuals, groups and organizations. We
recognize that we alone can’t make changes in the way beauty is defined. We invite you to get involved.
