2012 CSR Awards: A-List – Waggener Edstrom Worldwide

Like our other CSR A-Listers, Waggener Edstrom Worldwide practices the corporate responsibility it preaches for its clients. WE is a signatory of the UN Global Compact and based its third Corporate Citizenship Report on the Global Reporting Initiative’s Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. WE’s social innovation practice—which helps organizations position themselves for maximum impact in the intersection of private sector and public good—has worked in recent years with Microsoft, MercyCorps, Pfizer, Unicef and the UN Foundation. The social innovation practice partnered with the Microsoft Education team on the Imagine Cup student technology competition geared toward global concerns. The practice worked with the Pfizer Foundation to brand its signature social investment initiative, focused on promoting women as catalysts for improving health in underserved communities. —SG
