StandOut helps organizations assess and respond proactively to social, environmental, and economic problems in their community. While many organizations are strongly committed to strengthening community institutions and helping find solutions to community problems, others view their community involvement as part of their overall business agenda. StandOut can help both types of organizations to be more effective in achieving their corporate citizenship goals through the use of our targeted assessment process.

Of course, there is no “one-size-fits-all” corporate citizenship model, and the issues that represent a company’s social responsibility focus vary by organization, size, sector, and geographic region. That’s why StandOut has developed a unique assessment process that allows us to customize a corporate citizenship program that can be seamlessly integrated into your overall business strategy and operations to deliver the greatest benefits to your organization and its stakeholders—and more importantly, to your community.

Our assessment process involves:

• Evaluating your existing corporate citizenship program to identify strengths and weaknesses in relation to your company’s business priorities
• Identifying business practices that bring about economic, social, and environmental benefits while correlating with your business objectives
• Defining goals and objectives you want to achieve through your program
• Interviewing the CEO, designated executives, key employee groups, and members of Human Resources (HR)
• Surveying various stakeholders—including employees and the community
• Gathering information from employees to help identify personal interests and current involvements
