Conclusion

  1. Gone are the days when community programmes were designed to support the favourite charities of the board members. In today’s cost conscious corporate environment, any programme must be seen to be adding value to the overall objectives of the company.

  2. A focused community relations programme must therefore be designed and implemented to the highest standards in order to be recognized and measured as a key activity for influencing the overall perception of a company’s reputation. By any evaluation criteria, it is an investment which must be made!
