ORENDA helps its clients realize significant social and financial returns on their corporate social responsibility investments

ORENDA is a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) consulting company. We work with innovative organizations who view corporate philanthropy and environmental stewardship as more than just “the right thing to do.” We help our partners strategically leverage their community investment and environmental dollars in order to create the biggest bang for their philanthropic buck.

At ORENDA, we believe strategic CSR starts from the inside out. While companies are aware of the importance of communicating their social responsibility to external audiences, they often overlook their most important target —their very own employees. In order to maximize a company’s social contributions, there must be a plan to authentically leverage the company’s philanthropy strategy to create more inspirational workplaces. The right community investment and environmental strategy will galvanize employees around a powerful social issue that reflects the company’s values. Once galvanized, we then work with our clients to ensure that the same passion cultivated amongst their employees is effectively shared amongst their customers.

ORENDA’s work is guided by its F.A.R.E. principles. It is our belief that effective CSR programs are focused, aligned, relevant and engaging
