CEBU, Philippines – Stakeholders from both the government and private sector urge companies to actively participate in the German-funded program that aims to partner with communities from the grassroots level rather than just staying stuck with the traditional approach of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Launched in 2004, the Strategic Corporate-Community Partnership (Scope) is a program that is jointly developed by the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. It is an innovative business approach which addresses the needs of companies by working along the value chain and engaging communities as suppliers of semi-processed materials or skilled labor. PBSP Visayas Executive Committee Vice Chairperson Philip Tan urged more companies to adopt the SCOPE program and promote social consciousness within their businesses. “We encourage them to come out and apply. It’s time to be more open-minded with other possibilities of helping poor communities rather than just the usual CSR approach. With Scope, you empower them to become reliable economic players while achieving your business goals at the same time,” he said.
