Corporate sustainability strategies in support of culture
As a continuation of our work on cultural sustainability, we proposed to create cultural sustainability metrics and guidelines for the private sector and thus allow for better and comparable communication by companies around their cultural sensitivity. Now Corporate sustainability strategies in support of culture (CSSC) are being researched at the University Paris Cité. These include mediation, monitoring, visibility, advocacy and knowledge sharing to improve the private sector’s contribution to artists and the cultural and creative industries. If you are interested in the project, or would like to share your good practices and initiatives, contact us by sending an email to lilian.culturesolutionseu@gmail.com and hello@culturesolutions.eu.
