What does it mean for businesses to truly embrace their responsibility to society? Eche Munonye’s latest masterpiece, “From Philanthropy to CSR: The Evolution of Corporate Responsibility in Nigeria,” answers this question in a way no book has before. As the first indigenous guide to CSR in Nigeria—and Africa—it provides a blueprint for building purpose-driven, impactful, and sustainable corporate responsibility strategies.
For decades, CSR in many African businesses meant little more than an annual donation or a community project for show. Munonye challenges this mindset head-on. He argues that CSR must move beyond feel-good initiatives to become an integral part of business operations—driving societal change while delivering long-term value to companies.
What makes this book a game-changer is how it blends historical context with actionable insights. It takes you on a journey through Nigeria’s CSR evolution, revealing the lessons learned and the opportunities ahead. For instance, it shows how some of Nigeria’s biggest brands have turned CSR into a competitive advantage, fostering goodwill, loyalty, and trust among stakeholders.
But this book isn’t just about the past—it’s a practical guide for the future. Whether you’re a CSR professional tasked with designing impactful programs, a business leader looking to align profits with purpose, or a policymaker shaping national strategies, “From Philanthropy to CSR” equips you with tools to make CSR a meaningful force for change.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll find:
- How to design CSR programs that resonate with local communities while meeting global standards.
