The Orange County Business Journal, in partnership with OneOC, recently honored Branded Group as one of Orange County’s 50 most community-minded companies.
The award provides a local standard for superior corporate citizenship and showcases how companies can use their time, skills and other 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 vision is to build a conscious business that inspires future humanitarian leaders,” Michael Kurland, Branded Group founder and CEO, said. “It is a privilege for my team and I to give back to our community through our partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Orange County.”
Since 2012, the Civic 50 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.
“Our commitment to making a difference goes well beyond words on a wall,” Kurland said. “We strive each day to show how businesses of any size can have a lasting impact in their communities.”
