Partnering for positive social and environmental impact

Conservation Volunteers Australia develops partnerships with the leading Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Social Licence teams in Australia to strengthen community and environmental resilience across the country and enable impact at scale. 

 

A bridge between partners, communities and the environment

We are committed to making a long-lasting impact by working with our partners through our Campaigns to take on the biggest conservation challenges and influence positive change within communities across Australia. 

Our five Campaigns reflect and respond to the environmental and societal issues that are front of mind for Australian communities, are priorities for community leaders and governments and are recognised globally within the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) notably: 

 

The Campaigns also align with and deliver on all three of the goals in Australia’s Strategy for Nature, the guiding policy framework adopted by the Commonwealth, all state and territory governments and the Australian Local Government Association.

 

70% of Australians agree that a company can take actions that both increase profits and improve conditions in communities where it operates.

Meeting mutual objectives for CSR, Social Licence & ESG

We believe that forging mutually beneficial partnerships that are built on shared values, brand alignment and common goals, can move the world forward.

To do this, we work with our partners to collaboratively develop Campaign Projects that deliver social and environmental impact by engaging the community at scale. We measure our impacts and provide evidence in the form of field data, thorough reporting and powerful storytelling. 

Increasingly, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs are contributing towards Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) outcomes. Some of our partners have already discovered that their CSR programs are a powerful tool for operationalising ESG profiles and objectives.

By supporting a Campaign that aligns with your strategic objectives, you will also be providing critical funding towards our on-ground and in-community work, while enhancing your sustainable reputation and engaging with your stakeholders – employees, customers, communities and shareholders – who are critical to the long-term success of your organisation.

“CVA is a down to earth organisation that wants to make a real impact on the environment and support its volunteers. CVA is easy to work with and can easily find common interests for a mutually beneficial partnership.
