A SMALL INITIATIVE BRINGS GREAT REWARDS






Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is defined as the way companies integrate social, environmental, and economic concerns into their values and operations in a transparent and accountable manner. It is integral to long-term business growth and success, and it also plays an important role in promoting Canadian values internationally and contributing to the sustainable development of communities. Did you know that, the Government of Canada works with the Canadian business community, civil society groups, with foreign governments and communities as well as other stakeholders to foster and promote CSR ?


Our economy is give and take. Companies provide services and products for the public and the public pays them for their work. Without this back and forth dynamic, our economy would not be able to grow.  One needs the other and likewise.
Think of CSR ( Corporate Social Responsibility)  in the say way. Companies spend a lot of money on meetings  , conferences, product launches and other events that bring no global or measurable value in the end. Their event remains a one-off , that brings nothing but a lot of invoices and bills to the company that produces them. If we think of our events as catalysts , companies might find implementing CSR strategies are not only rewarding but have an added benefit of bringing about an awareness and central responsibility to their work teams.

Check out this case study and how Aeroplan collaborated with Atmosphere to  produce an event that incorporated a strong corporate social responsibility initiative.

"It was a wonderful night of extraordinary dining and entertainment and we are thrilled with the support we received this year!" states Linda Farha, Volunteer President of MASKARADE 2012. "We raised nearly $275,000 in donations, which will be distributed among organizations fighting against HIV/AIDS all across Quebec."

The evening also featured a silent auction with an impressive array of items to be auctioned with all net proceeds going directly to the Foundation. The dream is that one day, HIV/AIDS will be obliterated for "ÉTERNITÉ". The 2012 edition of MASKARAD

E was a successful night where inspiring and everlasting spirits were honoured and celebrated including: Elizabeth Taylor, Anthony Perkins, Rock Hudson, Liberace, Freddie Mercury and the Foundation's founder, Ron Farha. The Farha Foundation would like to thank all sponsors, guests and volunteers for the support and commitment.

MASKARADE is the most glamorous event that the Farha Foundation puts on and occurs once a year in February. Each year, the evening has a new theme that is always chosen in memory of founder Ron Farha, who passed away from AIDS. The activities that surround the evening are always chosen in conjunction with that year's theme, and include such things as guest performers, DJs, a silent auction, dinner and dancing. All the profits from the evening are donated to the Farha Foundation. Visit MASKARADE2012.com for more details.

We believe that attendees involved in our programs retain a greater deal of information due to the emotional connection with the cause.” Says Jason Katz, President, Atmosphere. This year we developed a program for Canada’s premier coalition loyalty program and gave 350 employees hands- on opportunity to give back to the community by helping raise awareness of homeless youth for Dans la Rue a grassroots, community-based organization that works with street kids and at-risk youth aged 12 to 25. The event encouraged employees to learn about street youth, panhandle for the cause and take part in a sleep-out in a parking lot in downtown Montreal. The initiatives fostered team spirit and created a sense of unity." The program delivered staggering results including $ 79,000 in cash, a greater awareness to the challenges that homeless youth face and the communications strategy generated over 600,000 impressions via non-traditional and social media.
