Question:

How do you build a comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility program for Ontario largest credit union, Meridian Credit Union? 

Answer:

You research and develop a White Paper on Owner Member Engagement and Corporate Social Responsibility which identifies best practices in organizations around the world founded on cooperative principles.  This research includes a review of more than 100 organizations in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors as well interviews with individuals and experts in the field of CSR.

We conducted a review of CSR practices from Canada to the UK. We then reviewed and analyzed the findings, compiled them and developed a comprehensive report with detailed recommendations for Meridian to move forward.

Result:

The White Paper is the basis of Meridian’s CSR strategy which is now under development.
