Social Impact & Community Engagement
Developing social purpose and engaging communities to address societal issues
There is an essential need for business and community organizations to work together to address the challenges in our society. Similarly, community organizations often do not have the resources, infrastructure, or support they need to tackle the most pressing issues that face our communities. Society today expects companies to show up in the communities in which they operate and be a force for good – not just in providing jobs, but in supporting people and addressing the social and economic challenges they face. Doing so requires genuine policies, positions, and programs that serve underrepresented communities and employees as well as effective engagement with community leaders and organizations.
Ankura helps its clients address societal needs both externally and internally by developing the strategies and tools needed to develop a societal promise, engage with community organizations effectively, and build relationships and trust within the communities in which they operate to protect from unwarranted reputational threats.
