CORD and Corporate Partners

CORD’S Corporate Partnership Project is an ideal opportunity to publicly associate your company with CORD’s aims and values.

We believe that companies have an important role to play in bringing about positive change for communities in the developing world. Communities where infrastructure and good governance have been destroyed by conflict.

We believe in transparency, trust, and the power of peaceable change, and we would like to work with you for mutual benefit.

You already affect peoples’ lives on a daily basis, impacting on the communities where you operate.

As with CORD, you work in the UK but have a global reach, be it in sourcing goods from overseas, or selling your products and services to multinational partners. Your internet site is probably accessed by people around the world.

The emphasis on corporate social responsibility means you can attract increased consumer loyalty and brand recognition by associating with a social cause like CORD.

Supporting CORD can involve your entire workforce, encouraging team motivation.

Sector Background

War causes poverty: poverty causes war. 80% of the world’s 20 poorest countries (total population 472 million) have suffered a major war in the past 15 years.

Countries with an annual per capita income of $250 have a 15% risk of experiencing civil war in the next five years. When income reaches $5,000, that risk drops to less than 1%.
