Fondation Guilé developed in 2013 the GuiléSipAssessment™ to map companies’ philanthropy strategies and to facilitate implementation of strategic social investments by multinationals.

EMBEDDING SOCIAL IMPACT INTO CORE BUSINESS

Indeed we see entrepreneurship as a basis of future business opportunities for companies demonstrating CSR leadership. As corporate responsibility gets integral and mature, there is a global trend towards more strategic focus and implementation of Social investment & philanthropy (Sip) projects. It is also one of the key dimensions and components of leadership in the Global Compact Blueprint for Corporate Sustainability Leadership  

Fondation Guilé aims to act as an incubator of these projects with these actions:

• facilitate access between compatible businesses and social entrepreneurs
• assure best practices in selecting, coaching, and monitoring social business entrepreneurs.

Companies may be very efficient accelerators of societal change by integrating in their core business social entrepreneurs’ innovative solutions, and by taking action through their operational capacity far beyond their philanthropic goals.

European competition in social investment

In 2014, Fondation Guilé will partner with Ashoka to organize a social entrepreneurship competition in Europe: Social & Business Co-Creation – collaboration for impact
