 What is Corporate Social Responsibility?

• Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a

self-regulating business model that helps a
company be socially accountable—to itself,
its stakeholders, and the public. By
practicing corporate social responsibility,
also called corporate citizenship,
companies can be conscious of the kind of
impact they are having on all aspects of
society, including economic, social, and
environmental.
 What is Corporate Social Responsibility?
• To engage in CSR means that, in the
ordinary course of business, a company is
operating in ways that enhance society and
the environment, instead of contributing
negatively to them.
• CSR is an evolving business practice that
incorporates sustainable development into
a company's business model. It has a
positive impact on social, economic and
environmental factors.
 Understanding Corporate Social
Responsibility

• Corporate social responsibility is a broad

concept that can take many forms
depending on the company and industry.
Through CSR programs, philanthropy, and
volunteer efforts, businesses can benefit
society while boosting their brands.
 Understanding Corporate Social
Responsibility

• As important as CSR is for the community, it

is equally valuable for a company. CSR
activities can help forge a stronger bond
between employees and corporations;
boost morale; and help both employees and
employers feel more connected with the
world around them.
 Understanding Corporate Social
Responsibility
• For a company to be socially responsible, it
first needs to be accountable to itself and its
shareholders. Often, companies that adopt
CSR programs have grown their business to
the point where they can give back to
society. Thus, CSR is primarily a strategy of
large corporations. Also, the more visible
and successful a corporation is, the more
responsibility it has to set standards of
ethical behaviour for its peers, competition,
and industry.
 Understanding Corporate Social
Responsibility

• Small-and-mid-sized businesses also create

social responsibility programs, although
their initiatives are not often as well-
publicized as larger corporations.

 4. JOLLIBEE GROUP FOUNDATION:
Farmer Entrepreneurship Program
• Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) is home to the
largest quick-service food chains in the country. Its
daily requirement for raw ingredients such as rice
and vegetables, puts the company in a unique
position to assist small farmers achieve a more
sustainable livelihood. The Jollibee Group
Foundation as the corporate social responsibility
arm (CSR) of JFC converted this opportunity into a
program it could develop to improve the incomes of
small farmers.
 4. JOLLIBEE GROUP FOUNDATION:
Farmer Entrepreneurship Program
• The Farmer Entrepreneurship Program was
launched in 2008 to improve small farmer’s income
by linking them to the supply chain of institutional
markets like JFC. The project is in partnership with
the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Philippines and
National Livelihood Development Corporation
(NLDC).
 4. JOLLIBEE GROUP FOUNDATION:
Farmer Entrepreneurship Program
• The Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Philippines promotes
market-driven strategies that facilitate farmer’s active
participation in modern markets, such as: supermarkets, fast
foods, hotels and restaurants, and institutional caterers. With
funding support from the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA), CRS carried out the project, “Small
Farms and Marketing Project” that assisted 3,000 farmers in
five project sites in Mindanao. From this knowledge base,
CRS developed a practical, eight-step approach called the
clustering strategy and documented this in a guidebook, The
Clustering Approach to Agro-Enterprise Development for
Small Farmers: The CRS-Philippines Experience.
 4. JOLLIBEE GROUP FOUNDATION:
Farmer Entrepreneurship Program
• The NLDC is a government corporation mandated
to provide for the credit needs of the farmers
through its accredited microfinance institutions
(MFIs), such as rural banks, cooperatives, and non-
government organizations (NGOs). In partnering
with CRS and Jollibee Foundation, NLDC saw the
opportunity to strengthen its credit and capacity
building programs through a project that raises the
competitiveness and productivity of small farmers.
 4. JOLLIBEE GROUP FOUNDATION:
Farmer Entrepreneurship Program
• These three organizations came together in 2008 to set up
the Bridging Farmers to the JFC Supply Chain Project, now
called Farmer Entrepreneurship Program, that aims to link
small farmers to the supply chain of institutional buyers like
JFC. For the pilot year of the project (2008- 2009), six (6)
municipalities in the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Nueva
Viscaya, Bukidnon, and Zamboanga Sibugay participated in
the project in the project. The project provided training to
increase the farmer’s productivity and gain skills in
enterprise management as well as improve their access to
credit through the help of partner finance institutions.
 4. JOLLIBEE GROUP FOUNDATION:
Farmer Entrepreneurship Program
• The results of the pilot project were varied. Farmers
were able to deliver onions from Nueva Ecija and
Bukidnon as well as bell pepper from Nueva
Vizcaya. But they were unable to sustain a year-
round delivery due to lack of production and post-
harvest facilities. Other products such as rice,
calamansi and carrots faced significant constraints
prompting the group to review the inclusion of
either the products or the sites in the project.
 4. JOLLIBEE GROUP FOUNDATION:
Farmer Entrepreneurship Program
• For 2014 the program assisted 27 farmer groups
from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao to deliver their
products to various institutional buyers such as fast-
food restaurants, supermarkets, and food processors.
In addition, 15 institutional markets are currently
sourcing directly from smallholder farmers for their
vegetable material requirements through FEP. These
companies practice inclusive business by offering
the farmers opportunities to be directly part of the
supply chain.
 4. JOLLIBEE GROUP FOUNDATION:
Farmer Entrepreneurship Program
• FEP has partnered with more than 40 local institutions to
develop over 900 farmers from 15 provinces nationwide.
The program was implemented in Ilocos Sur, Pangasinan,
Nueva Vizcaya, Nueva Ecija, Quezon, Oriental Mindoro,
Albay, Antique, Iloilo, Negros Oriental, Cebu, Bukidnon,
Compostela Valley, Davao Oriental, and Agusan del Sur.
The Department of Agriculture has also provided training
and agricultural materials. The FEP experience has
demonstrated that by combining the elements of market,
finance and agro-enterprise clustering, farmers can meet
the volume, quality and timeliness requirements of
institutional buyers.
