Corporate responsibility

Creating sustainable business.

Johannesburg, 23 Aug 2010

Corporate responsibility (CR) is evolving into an acknowledged management discipline. Despite being an executive, individual, and philanthropic task, it is becoming a strategic corporate factor.

In alignment with core business, CR creates competitive advantages and supports sustainable business development. Detecon's Corporate Responsibility consulting approach covers the three top areas: CR Strategy, CR Innovation and Green Transformation.

The main object of CR Strategy is to create innovative, sustainable business models that enable businesses as well as communities to benefit from market growth - as an integrated part of the corporate strategy.

With CR Innovation, we help our clients to shape sustainable product portfolios that integrate business, social, and technology innovation. Sustainable products combine shareholders' interest in profitability and society's interest in ecologically and socially responsible behaviour. Besides a higher market share and increased customer loyalty, our clients benefit from a positive public awareness, improved employee motivation, and a positive brand loading.

The Green Transformation consulting approach includes a sound IT analysis and migration roadmap, which covers the optimisation of existing resources and the implementation of a KPI concept to measure/monitor financial, social, and environmental benefit to meet or exceed regulatory requirements. Furthermore, we are able to prepare our customers for the energy audit (ie, e-waste issues: EU's WEEE, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment).

Our consultants combine the expertise and experience from various projects on emerging and saturated markets with enthusiasm and deep understanding of CR philosophy. Together with our clients, we derive an integral, tailored CR strategy that contributes towards a sustainable world.
