Sovereign Strategy is one of the few companies in the sector to offer genuine, credible Corporate Social Responsibility support. For over two years we have been assisting companies to implement CSR programmes that are compliant to relevant international guidelines, such as the Global Reporting Initiative.

For instance, we are currently rolling-out a three year programme with Kuwait National Petroleum Company to provide them with a world-class reporting function that complies with GRI and the IPIECA/IPA – the leading voluntary reporting guidelines for the oil industry.

Our goal is to build internal capacity within your organisation – we ensure that best practice is in place, your staff then take over to ensure rigorous reporting within your organisation. Alternatively, we can offer strong support to existing CSR functions by providing high-profile initiatives through our networks.

Why CSR?
Because leading businesses recognise the positive impact on:

Performance – Improved, increased staff morale & retention
Profitability – Improved, better management systems and corporate governance
Reputation – Improved, helps convince business partners
Organisational Transparency – Increased trust (Stakeholders)
