Making great Corporate Social Responsibility normal in New Zealand | Registered charity CC54711

A consumer’s interest in doing good doesn’t stop when they arrive at work. We carry our values with us as employees, which means if something doesn’t sit right and we keep seeing it happening, our trust in the organisation we work for can quickly erode, leaving us feeling disengaged and disempowered.

Companies with an interest in investing in their employees see this, and they value the feedback they get. Just this week one of our team mentioned to a manager that the dishwasher’s sign featuring a woman washing dishes felt outdated and a bit average to see, and it got changed within 24 hours without being a big deal. Big kudos for listening and making changes to the manager! But if a good CSR plan is in place, things like this can get picked up on pro-actively, and a process of regularly checking in with staff to see how the org can do better can be embedded.

Something to think about when you next go to work. Could your team be doing more to check in with each other and make your workplace more inclusive, sustainable, generous, and values-driven? Probably! Give it a whirl SC’s.

Emailing out to you and you || Three years ago, the idea of an email list was too keen and too much. Now though, with interest in our work to make great corporate social responsibility normal growing all the time and a few events in the pipeline, we need a good way to get in touch. It’s become time to open up the email list.

Keen to be a part of the next layer of our community? Head to this latest post in our bio and drop us a contact email 👣

As New Zealand goes back to work today, we must keep looking after each other and the families affected on Friday, finding strength in our collective unity.
Some ways businesses can get involved in offering support can be found in an Idealog article we’ve authored, link in our bio. Take what you need, and Kia Kaha New Zealand.

The reality of content creation for us lately! Post early morning meetings, low angled HUJI selfies taken as I head down Featherston St at rush hour. Wouldn’t post this if we were interested in a perfect feed, but we are interested in the truth and this is it. Takes a 100 meetings and about a trillion emails + some to get a ball rolling. Wellington coffee shops continuing to give us shelter as we build the community of Step Changers working to make CSR normal. 2019-20 year plans locked in for two of our four teams now ❤️ an update by @atumblingrosie

Oh kia ora friends! Rosie here. It’s been a minute since we’ve caught up hey? As we’re sizzling into 2019 it seemed like a good time to drop by and give you a wee update on what Step Changers is working on this year.
———————
If 2017 was a massive year of inception, 2018 was a massive year of growth. We started the year with just four of us and ended the year with about 28 volunteers on side. You can probably imagine the admin involved in trying to organise that many people in one direction - a feat made worse by a lack of written plans from 2017. That became a major focus for the year - getting organised and building the house for the future SC. I’m super proud that we ended the year with a board of highly skilled and passionate businesspeople who are guiding us into ‘19 with some actual tangible and well defined goals, and also a great sense of our CSR philosophy following a six month long project lead by Sara and Elle. Our database project is also well on its way too 🙌🏻
——————
This year the focus turns to making these insights accessible for the world, so you can start writing your own CSR plans with confidence and getting your own orgs to step up too. There’s also a lot more content coming on great ethical businesses and charities that could use some business support, which will add to the library we started on in 2018.
—————-
All in all, it’s more exciting times to come. Not sure if we’ll grow as much this year numbers wise, but let’s just see hey?! If you’re keen to muck in somehow, you can always reach out to us through one of the many channels. There’s also a whole hoard of opportunity for you to be an activist for CSR, and I’ll be doing my best to keep you in the loop with what you can do to help out over this year.
—————
But that’s all just from our end really! Is there anything else you’d like to see more from us? Videos? Talks? Events in real life?
Hit us up if you’ve got suggestions - we're forever listening and wanting to do better👂
—————-
Otherwise - thanks again for another great year! If you’d told me we’d be here a year ago, I don’t think I would have believed you. It’s been a pretty cool ride, and we’re grateful that you’re along for it ❤️❤️

We are seeing some seriously questionable PR to do with cutting straws and single use plastics lately, and so it felt about time to start talking about what makes for great CSR and what’s just a bit lame. Number seven on SC’s list for this is called being bold. Great leadership is about standing for something before it becomes normal to. It’s about actual transformative leadership, and not celebrating yourself for complying once the game has changed. So no guys, you don’t get to #savetheturtles at us in 2018 when you’ve known about this for ages but chosen not to act. We can do better than that - and really- we want better than that 🐢 #stepupnewzealand

AND ANOTHER ONE. Our newest chat with the team at @indigoandiris is now live. These two have been busy changing how the beauty industry does social good, and they talk about it with us here ^ #linkinbio words by our pal @allybubi 🙌🏻

This is Grace, one of our graphic designers at SC! She joined us in early/mid-2018 and she’s had a tonne to work on since day dot. She’s giving her time to make CSR normal because she know that even if we can convince businesses to make a few small changes to improve how they operate in areas like sustainability, community giving, diversity, accessibility, and procurement, it can have a big impact for our communities and on our common future. More of her work soon! 🙌🏽#meettheteam #gohomeproud
