The benefits of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
88% of Australians believe that it is important for brands and businesses to be actively engaging in doing good according to a recent survey of Australian consumers . (1)
9-in-10 Australians say that a brand doing good would encourage them to purchase that brand and 70% said that they’d pay more for that brand. (2)
When brands take action on societal issues, we see at least a 4x multiplier of likelihood of purchase. (3)
We seek partners who want to help enable the most significant progress in cancer research
+ Our proven way to support cancer research is unique and powerful. It is transformative for individuals, families, communities and Australia’s health system.
+ Our model creates exponential impact from a very small operating cost base.
+ We have extraordinary potential to reduce direct and indirect health costs, loss of productivity, and human suffering caused by cancer. This impact is limited only by lack of funding.
+ Mostly because our partners will help save and change lives and change the future of cancer.
