The Orange County Business Journal, in partnership with OneOC, recently honored Branded Group as one of Orange County’s 50 most community-minded companies. This is the second year in a row that Branded Group has earned this distinction.
“We are humbled to, once again, have been selected for this award,” Michael Kurland, Branded Group Founder and CEO, said. “Our team is committed to its vision of building a conscious business that inspires future humanitarian leaders. It’s gratifying to know that our efforts have been recognized.”
The award provides a local standard for superior corporate citizenship and showcases how companies can use their time, skills and resources to improve the quality of life in the community where they do business. By their leadership and community engagement practices, Civic 50 Orange County companies are translating good intentions into sound business practices.
“Our culture at Branded Group reflects our commitment to give back and make a difference,” Kurland said. “We will continue to do all we can to have a positive impact to our community and the world, and hope to inspire other businesses to do the same.”
Since 2012, the Civic 50, an initiative of Points of Light, has recognized the 50 most community-minded companies in the nation. Companies are selected based upon four dimensions of their community engagement programs: investment, integration, institutionalization and impact.
Civic 50 Orange County companies are increasingly shaping their strategies and crafting their policies to prioritize meaningful engagement with communities. No longer satisfied with checkbook philanthropy or short-term returns on CSR initiatives, Civic 50 companies are elevating critical stakeholder voices from employees, customers and communities into their mission statements.
