CSR Trend: Global Companies Acting Locally

Localization is in. Even companies that operate on a global level are recognizing the value of local markets and supply chains. This is not only to reduce carbon emissions that might be associated with transportation or supply chain costs (as creating "greener" businesses is also a rising CSR trend mentioned above) but to tap into local talent and solutions.

Many companies that also have charitable arms are also prioritizing nonprofit partners that work with local leaders and local talent, rather than "shipping in" cookie-cutter solutions.
