Current programme

In June 2010 ECCR embarked on a new three-year work programme (2010-13) comprising four work streams designed to address its mission and strategic objectives.

Work streams and goals

Work stream 1. Research, dissemination and advocacy

Goals:

• To effectively highlight and raise awareness of at least three major corporate responsibility issues of concern, or set of sector-wide concerns.
• To contribute to substantive change in at least three companies whereby operations result in more equitable and sustainable outcomes.
• To contribute to substantive changes in engagement on the part of institutional investors and fund managers with at least three key corporate responsibility issues or sectors.
  

Work stream 2. Collaboration with affected communities and civil society

Goal:

• To strengthen communities’ and their representative organisations’ effectiveness  in articulating their rights through engagement with the private sector and/or regulatory authorities in at least two cases.

Work stream 3. Awareness raising, support for engagement and membership development

Goals:

• To effectively raise awareness among churches and other civil society actors of at least three major corporate responsibility concerns, resulting in significantly increased levels of active engagement with the issues, and to raise awareness of the potential for positive impact investment.
• To grow ECCR’s membership by 15 per cent and to significantly increase members’ levels of engagement with corporate and investor responsibility concerns.  

Work stream 4. Organisational development and sustainability

Goals:
