Joint CSR Activities

CSR Activities of the International Trade Council - a peak body international chamber of commerce / global chamber of commerce - assisting companies with export market development

The International Trade Council (ITC) is deeply committed to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives that make a direct, positive impact on local communities. Our CSR activities span across several countries, including Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Laos, Myanmar, and Nepal, where we actively engage in programs that bring tangible benefits to those in need. These include tree planting campaigns to combat deforestation, sponsoring schools and educational programs to provide better learning opportunities for underprivileged children, organizing environmental cleanup projects, and rescuing wildlife from illegal trafficking activities. Each of these initiatives is designed to ensure that resources go directly to the recipients, making a real difference on the ground with minimal overhead.

 

The ITC also assists companies in developing their own low-cost, high-impact CSR programs. We help create initiatives that are directly managed and operated in the community, ensuring maximum impact with minimal intermediary costs. Whether it’s creating community gardens to support local food production, sponsoring healthcare clinics, providing microloans for small businesses, or building clean water systems, our team is ready to work with companies to develop meaningful CSR strategies. These programs can be tailored to the specific needs of local communities, ensuring that all resources benefit the intended recipients. By partnering with the ITC, companies can make a powerful difference, with every dollar spent going directly to those who need it most.
