Ethical Corporation Report
(World) Based on almost 100 interviews with business, NGOs, government, trade unions, consultants, partnership "brokers", think tanks and academics this report examines the issue of NGO-business partnerships.
Main findings of the report include:
• many companies and NGOs had gone ahead with partnerships, others were trying to assess the risks and benefits
• interviewees wanted to know about projects that had not succeeded as well as the well publicised success stories
• many interviewees were skeptical about the idea of partnerships, believing that companies and NGOs should stick to their traditional roles rather than seeking common ground
• a majority of interviewees, however, noted that attitudes on both sides were changing
• a number of interviewees said they would like to see more involvement from trade unions, church groups and small and medium-sized businesses
• a number of respondents emphasised the need to manage expectations by making sure both sides agree on the goals of the partnership
