The Role of Corporate Philanthropy/ Social Responsibility

• Bonnie Petrauskas, Executive Director, Corporate Contributions, Johnson & Johnson

What is Corporate Social Responsibility ?

• Discretionary – not mandated by law• Is not focused on the bottom line• Goes beyond cash only• Community well-being includes human condition & environmental issues

20

“Corporate social responsibility is a commitment to improve community well-being through discretionary business practices and contributions of corporate resources.”

—Philip Kotler & Nancy Lee “Corporate Social Responsibility,” Wiley 2007

Recent Years Have Experienced a New Approach—Closer Alignment with Corporate Objectives

• 1990s experienced a shift from allocating funds to as many organizations as possible for the short term—to making long-term commitments to specific social issues and initiatives in alignment with business goals

• Mid 2000 reflected a focus on a few strategic areas that fit with corporate values– Increase in in-kind contributions– Shared distributions channels with partners– Greater emphasis on evaluation

• Now, greater engagement with partner organizations; shared responsibilities; fewer but more comprehensive initiatives

21

Our Credo

We believe our first responsibility is to the doctors, nurses and patients, to mothers and fathers and all others who use our products and services. In meeting their needs everything we do must be of high quality. We must constantly strive to reduce our costs in order to maintain reasonable prices. Customers’ orders must be serviced promptly and accurately. Our suppliers and distributors must have an opportunity to make a fair profit.

We are responsible to our employees, the men and women who work with us throughout the world. Everyone must be considered as an individual. We must respect their dignity and recognize their merit. They must have a sense of security in their jobs. Compensation must be fair and adequate, and working conditions clean, orderly and safe. We must be mindful of ways to help our employees fulfill their family responsibilities. Employees must feel free to make suggestions and complaints. There must be equal opportunity for employment, development and advancement for those qualified. We must provide competent management, and their actions must be just and ethical.

We are responsible to the communities in which we live and work and to the world community as well. We must be good citizens — support good works and charities and bear our fair share of taxes. We must encourage civic improvements and better health and education. We must maintain in good order the property we are privileged to use, protecting the environment and natural resources.

Our final responsibility is to our stockholders. Business must make a sound profit. We must experiment with new ideas. Research must be carried on, innovative programs developed and mistakes paid for. New equipment must be purchased, new facilities provided and new products launched. Reserves must be created to provide for adverse times. When we operate according to these principles, the stockholders should realize a fair return.

25

We are responsible to the communities in which we live and work and to the world community as well.

34

Defining Collective Impact

• Structured collaborative effort

• Process and results are emergent rather than predetermined

• Necessary resources and innovations often exist but have not been recognized

• Learning is continuous

• Adoption happens simultaneously among many different organizations

Stanford Social Innovation Review introduced concept in 2011 after looking at collaborative efforts that had achieved substantial impact on large scale social issues

35

Five Conditions of Collective Impact

• An organization that serves as the key contact for the initiative and coordinates organization and effortsBackbone Function

• Shared vision for change• Joint approach to addressing priorities

Common

Agenda

• Activities, while differentiated, are coordinated through a mutually reinforcing plan of action

Community Assets Contribute to a Collective View and Voice for HNB

• Builds on diverse partnerships that promote health and wellness

• Creates awareness of community health improvement efforts, priorities and available resources

• Minimize the duplication of efforts around community health services

• Provides partners with a shared understanding of how their individual efforts contribute to a broader community goal


Panel Discussion




Sharing Metrics for Evaluating Impact

• Provide an understanding and appreciation of the total impact of community efforts

• Ensure that efforts remain aligned and participants hold one another accountable

The Need to Develop a Shared Data Measurement Set


• New Brunswick has a demographic composition different from Middlesex County making it difficult to use Middlesex County figures

• New Brunswick more closely aligns with similarly-sized urban areas in New Jersey

New Brunswick Specific Data


• Develop core set of indicators designed to help measure success of health and wellness efforts, including:

– Health outcomes

– Social determinants of health

– Our collective impact work

• Helps tell the story moving forward

Moving Forward Together


Panel Discussion




Connecting Community Based Strategies

Social, economic, and environmental factors all influence health.

When all sectors (e.g., housing, transportation, labor, education) promote prevention-oriented environments, they all contribute to health.

43

Many of the strongest predictors of health and well-being fall outside of the health care setting.


Partnerships are necessary. Partners play a variety of roles and, at their best, are trusted members of the communities and populations they serve.

A wide range of actions contribute to and support healthy communities.

44

Healthier New Brunswick brings our work togetherto improve the health and well-being of all

New Brunswick Residents.


Two Key Forums:

New Brunswick Tomorrow’s HEALTH TASK FORCE: Convenes diverse partners and promotes strong cross-sector participation in planning and implementing community health efforts.

Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School’s ALLIANCE FOR A HEALTHIER NEW BRUNSWICK: Convenes partners in specialized areas of need (e.g. tobacco cessation, asthma, etc.) to inform the community about the range of preventive services they should receive and their benefits.

45

Making the connection:

• Stay informed with access to a directory of services, health and policy groups here in New Brunswick, wellness events and community activities, and information specific to topics like disease management, and enrollment to youth services.

New Brunswick Tomorrow Health and Youth Resource Guide


THE NEW BRUNSWICK COMMUNITY FOOD ALLIANCE: nurtures the development and maintenance of a sustainable, localized food system and food-secure city of New Brunswick in which all of its residents are hunger-free, healthy and benefit economically from the food systems that impacts their lives.
