A/E/C Marketing: How to Market Green When Everyone Else Issubstance151
This seminar was presented to the Society of Professional Services Marketing (SMPS) Maryland on February 9, 2011.
Today’s business success requires that organizations demonstrate their environmental commitment and social purpose, engaging internal and external stakeholders in a meaningful and relevant way. So it is imperative for A/E/C firms to market their environmental and social initiatives – to help create differentiation and gain competitive advantage in the increasingly crowded “green” marketplace.
While in the past many A/E/C firms relied on the number of LEED-certified projects or LEED APs to get ahead, most firms today have LEED-certified projects in their portfolio and LEED APs on staff — A/E/C marketers need to move their message beyond LEED to remain competitive.
Effective and sustainable procurement can maximise the impact of social value demonstrating a positive effect for tenants and communities. In this session, we will explore how we can lead the way to drive sustainable procurement to maximise the impact of social value.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the idea that a company should focus on more than just the bottom line by also investing in its people and the community. Most business leaders support this idea, however there are some questions about how companies should be investing in CSR and what that investment should look like in today’s society.
In this 2-hour interactive session, you will join CSR Consultants Cliff Yee and Carol Chin-Fatt from Raffa, P.C. to explore effective, impactful CSR strategies for small businesses. Topics and discussion will include: the broad scope of CSR, case studies to illustrate best practices, how and why you should create a purpose-driven culture, and how to craft and implement the right tactics for your organization.

7. In theory…
• Research assignment:
– develop an approach to integrate CSR into
the potato value chain as a way to increase
commitment of private sector and scale-up
– validate it - with INCOPA and local private
partners in Peru
8. • Development assignment: achieve impact
for farmers through this approach - with
Innovandes:
– Geographically-based project
– Development vs research objectives
– Work through local partners (NGOs) and
farmer organizations
– Key assets: relationship and trust developped
over time with local partners and farmer
organizations

11. Model validated with the market leader
• Pepsico’s CSR investment
– Favorable price to producer,
based on production costs, and
contract
– Social marketing: linking native
potatoes and development
issues
• “Business case” (vs philantropy)
– Access to a new, high value
niche market
– Access to a quality, reliable
supply (long-term relationship)
12. Development results: farmers
• Estimated farmers’ profitability: 20-40%
• Operation benefited around 300 families, including
daily workers
• Access to a stable market over 3 year
• Self-esteem and new capacities (organization,
quality management)

15. Challenges
• Sustainability of results:
– Business relationship and Andean Potato Initiative
still under consolidation
– Still very important role of CIP and NGOs as
facilitators
– Consumers need to be more involved
– Climate change and vulnerability
• Scaling-up: ensuring that further development of
the native potato market benefits poverty
reduction is still a challenge!
• Feeding back demand into the research agenda:
reducing sugars, organic sprout inhibitor, ICM,
quality seeds, nutritional and functional
properties of native potatoes.
16. Conclusions from this experience
• Reality IS complex!
• Temptation to jump from facilitator’s to actor’s
role is at every corner
• Both research and development projects have
been necessary and complementary to achieve
development outcomes
• Development impact:
– How far/long reaches CIP-Papa Andina’s
responsibility?
– Who manages borders between R&D if not R&D
institutions?
– Isn’t this part of our core business too?
18. Why should CIP
work with the private sector?
– Valuable and complementary partner for non profit
institutions towards development objectives
• Financial and Human Resources
• Skills and risk-taking capacity to scale-up
• Market/demand knowledge and expertise
– CIP has assets for facilitating public-private
innovation process
• Good reputation and image
• Relatively neutral “honnest broker”
• Expertise and research capacities (although permeability of
research agenda to short/medium term concerns is limited)
19. How to work
with the private sector?
1. Be clear about our development agenda:
• Orient benefits of collaboration towards
sustainable pro-poor change vs own
institutional/program benefits (eg. find
alternative funding for research)
• As facilitator/broker,
have a clear
perception of our role
and (exit) strategy
for the sustainability
of results
20. – Don’t judge – understand and evaluate
company’s own pressures (management,
work culture, market trends)
– Don’t request at once - convince that we
are a valuable partner
• Beware of details and accuracy
• Build on previous successes and assets
– Don’t fear – start dialogue, state our
objective/needs
– Identify allies within the company / internal
advocacy to get the management on board
– Find common interest, concrete shared
successes on short term (build trust)
2. Learn to know our partner
21. 3. Chose the right way and moment to
formalize rules of the game
–Assess image risks and opportunity cost
–Analyze issues of intellectual property
and exclusivity
23. CSR in value chains
In Peru:
• Strengthen the Andean Potato Initiative’s
autonomy and leadership + Public awareness
around the label values
• CIP’s strategy for the development of the native
potato opportunity?
Scaling-out:
CSR is a global trend. Identify private partners,
construct rules of the game and define how to
embody them.
24. CIP and the private sector
• Promote exchange and reflection on
current experiences
(CSR, public-private partnerships,
stakeholder platforms)
• Community of practice within CIP / CG?
25. Looking into the mirror:
CIP’s CSR
CSR is
a philosophy and an
ethical form of
business
management
taking into account
stakeholders’
interests
to achieve mutual
sustainable
development

26. CSR principles
• Linked to core business (R4D)
– Not philantropy
• Implies communication (dialogue with
stakeholders)
– Not just marketing
• Requires innovation
– Not just complying with established rules/
“business as usual”
• Requires commitment and investment at the
highest management level and coherence
through the organization (credibility)
• Accountability to stakeholders
27. CIP’s stakeholders: Donors
Clients who pay for added value (impact)
Business as usual:
– Give them what(ever) they ask for
– Position and sell our work on the competitive
R&D market
CSR :
– Strive for transparent communication and debate
on effective and efficient impact pathways
– Analyze critically our work
The chips analogy
28. CIP’s stakeholders: local partners
NARIs, NGOs, public authorities, farmers, etc.
Clients who benefit from our R&D products
Business as usual:
– Individually: (only) providers of data
– Collectively: benefit from research products (public goods)
CSR
– Take demand into account (even if they don’t pay)
– Be accountable. Strive to make sure they benefit
individually from research process (capacities, reflexion) if
not from the final product
– Develop access to knowledge - as important as research
products themselves (Cf. distribution network)
29. CIP’s communication
• Important to have high quality (and good-
looking) publications for donors and medias.
• Internal communication and debate at CIP,
institutional learning, knowledge management
and sharing, capacity building and
communication with stakeholders are as
important as research itself
31. Assessing impact:
• Impact study on the development of the native
potato market – Papa Andina/DIV I
• Effects of market articulation on livelihood and
biodiversity – Papa Andina / DIV I and III
Learning from the experience:
• Relevance and potential of the “Innovandes”
model for better linking research and
development – Papa Andina / DIV IV
• Lessons learned on stakeholder platforms, with
a focus on facilitation role – Papa Andina/DIV I
Pending research issues
32. Conclusions of a “bicho raro” at CIP
• “L’enfer, c’est les autres”
– CIP makes good research
– Papa Andina develops good
approaches for innovation
Bottlenecks (long-term processes)
• Establishing real partnerships with
local partners struggling in a complex reality
• Feeding back the research agenda
• Most difficult personal challenge:
find balance between
– scientific rigor and pragmatism
– intellectual honesty and need
to “sell” ideas
– facilitating and publishing
– development and research objectives
