Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability
How does your company subscribe to sustainable business practices, ensuring the well-being of the physical environment, as well as contribute to local, provincial, or national communities? Does your company have a sustainability program? How does it create measurable environmental and social practices, and what benchmarks are used to ensure success?
Example:
- Your company employs the use of technology to host business meetings, rather than flies staff to meeting destinations, reducing fuel consumption and ultimately, greenhouse gasses.
- Your company sponsors a local community sports team.
Corporate Culture
How does your company foster a positive, healthy work environment for its employees, and how does your business strategy incorporate practices to ensure employee development? Does your company strive to attract and retain the best and brightest, and does it value each employee on an individual level?
Example:
- Your company provides parental leave top-up benefits to new mothers and/or fathers.
- Your company subsidizes educational development programs for employees.
Innovation, Research and Development
How does your company stay on the leading edge of its product or services suite, and what sets your company apart with respect to innovative business practices?
Example:
- Your company devotes a portion of its operating budget to research and development.
- Your company leverages technology in a unique way to improve products and services.
Operational Growth
How has your company performed?
Example:
- Your company has expanded from single to multiple locations.
