The Business Case for CSR Consulting: How to Unlock Social and Environmental Wins

Social Impact Consulting Services
At Our Goals, we believe conscious corporations committed to uplifting communities deserve localized, insider-led guidance to maximize social and environmental impact. For two years, Our Goals founder Ana’s firsthand cultural knowledge and passion for ethical change have driven our mission to empower Indonesian children through strategic educational CSR partnerships.

What We Do – Our Goals CSR Consultancy

Our Goals partners with local NGOs in Indonesia to build new preschools, provide sanitary facilities and deliver English language programs for the first time in these communities. The schools are built from recycled plastic blocks, made in Lombok for minimum carbon footprint. Local teachers are hired, paid a salary well above the local average and jobs are created for passionate locals. For every school built, Our Goals provides education on sustainability around waste management, agricultural burning practices and trees are planted to improve the local environment.

Having pioneered the construction of Lombok’s first sustainably built school from recycled plastics, Our Goals understands the rewards and complexities of implementing on-the-ground sustainability initiatives. Now, we aim to share these insights with like-minded companies seeking to improve lives in Asia.

Here, we will share real examples of how our hands-on approach to delivering CSR projects helps conscious corporations realize win-win opportunities to operate responsibly. Let us guide you through the business benefits of engaging in CSR projects with Our Goals.
