A Commitment to Sustainability and Shared Prosperity

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an important measure of legitimacy in today’s business environment. As stakeholders gain greater visibility into corporate behavior, organizations are increasingly evaluated not only by the products and services they provide, but by the values they demonstrate through action. Consumers, employees, and investors alike expect companies to operate responsibly and contribute positively to society.

This white paper examines how corporations are advancing environmental responsibility through the principles of corporate social responsibility. By focusing on conservation, remediation, and community engagement, it highlights how CSR initiatives can strengthen environmental stewardship while supporting social and economic well-being. These efforts demonstrate how responsible business practices contribute to long-term resilience, trust, and shared prosperity.

Register for the webinar

Presented by

Monitoring and showcasing conservation and restoration projects have evolved significantly over the past two decades. From early field sampling using paper maps and film cameras to today’s drones, GIS, and interactive digital tools, practitioners have a wide range of options to collect, manage, and communicate data. This webinar explores how monitoring techniques have changed and how to select approaches that remain practical and scalable across different project types and site sizes.

Specialists from Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) will share insights into field sampling and site monitoring, demonstrating how both formal and informal practices can be applied based on project goals. They will discuss where traditional methods still add value, particularly on smaller sites, while highlighting the capabilities of electronic data collection, GIS applications, and modern data management systems.

The session will also examine tools such as drones and AI for assessing large-scale habitats, along with effective ways to present data, from hard copy reports to interactive online platforms. Attendees will learn how tools like StoryMaps can turn project results into clear, engaging narratives for partners and the public.

This webinar emphasizes practical strategies for keeping monitoring efforts relevant and adaptable, whether you’re managing a single small site or overseeing a complex, landscape-scale initiative.

A brief Q&A will follow, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with CEC’s team.

Optimizing Socioeconomic Benefits in Corporate Conservation

/by

Socioeconomic benefits (SEBs) are defined as direct or indirect positive effects of industrial activities and natural resource development projects to the economy, social and cultural practices, livelihoods, and traditional knowledge systems and technologies.

As corporations increasingly recognize their role in environmental and social stewardship, integrating SEBs into conservation projects becomes a fundamental aspect of corporate citizenship. Through partnerships and actions, corporate conservation projects that optimize SEBs can leave a lasting positive impact on both the environment and communities.

Corporate Responsibility in Building Climate-Resilient Communities

As climate-related disasters intensify, the need for proactive resilience planning has become critical. Global disaster relief costs now exceed $200 billion annually, while floods, droughts, and extreme weather continue to disrupt lives and infrastructure. The World Health Organization projects that climate change could cause an additional 250,000 deaths per year between 2030 and 2050, underscoring the urgency of coordinated action.

This white paper highlights how corporations can play a vital role in strengthening community resilience. By leveraging their resources, global reach, and influence, businesses can help safeguard natural resources, enhance infrastructure, and support vulnerable populations. Through innovative strategies and partnerships, corporate leaders are demonstrating that resilience is not just a moral imperative, it’s a foundation for long-term stability and shared prosperity.

Nature-based Solutions for Pollution Prevention

/by

From strategic tree plantings to wetland restoration projects, nature-based solutions (NbS) are quickly becoming a key part of many pollution prevention strategies. These solutions are accessible, scalable, and offer many co-benefits, like increased biodiversity and climate resilience. NbS can advance pollution prevention goals on corporate lands while enhancing ecosystem services and contributing to local, regional, and large-scale restoration efforts.

WHC was funded under EPA’s Source Reduction Assistance (SRA) Grant program to explore the opportunities to implement NbS for pollution reduction across the automotive industry. Through a program of technical assistance, research and analysis, stakeholder engagement and workshops, this effort developed and advanced nature-based solutions as pollution prevention in the industry.
