MILESTONES OF A LONG JOURNEY

We founded the Socially Responsible Business Center and were the first to introduce this concept in Russia, replacing the familiar notion of “corporate charity”.

We published an information and analytical bulletin in which we introduced a typology of socially responsible business and acquainted experts, businesses and NGOs with leading Russian practice and with major international resource centers, experts and case studies.

We founded the Social Investments non-profit partnership. We introduced the term into academic use, developed a typology, conducted research,  and created training modules, programs and textbooks for universities.

We published the book The Social Dimension of Business together with the Prince of Wales International Business Leaders Forum, IBLF (the Prince of Wales is now King Charles III).

We published the book Social Investments in Business, a textbook for students and teachers and a practical guide for managers. More than one generation of students and business leaders has grown up on this book.

We published the book How It Pays to Be Kind (Alpina Business Books)

We translated and published the Russian edition of Untapped: Creating Value in Underserved Markets by our partner John Weiser (2007, Vershina)

We translated and published the Russian edition of Conversations with Disbelievers: Persuading Companies to Address Social Challenges by our partners John Weiser and Simon Zadek (2009, Ekonomika).
