THE POWER AND PURPOSE OF CORPORATE ACTIVISM

Written By Kim Manunui

We explore a new approach to corporate social responsibility.

Our world view is informed by the belief that everything is interconnected and interdependent. We believe that our survival on this planet is dependent on the adoption of more sustainable business practices.

Given the three dimensions of sustainability, environmental, economic and social are all interconnected; we feel there needs to be more accountability of the impacts of business practices on the world.

 “AT A TIME WHEN OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM HAS FAILED TO DELIVER FOR OUR PLANET, IT’S UP TO BUSINESSES LIKE OURS TO CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE.”

— ROSE MARCARIO, CEO (PATAGONIA)

 

We felt the sense of urgency and obligation to activism advocated by Rose Marcario. Inspired by her words, we look to learn from companies like Patagonia that use Corporate Activism to:

  1. Inspire non-profit organisations to take up and keep up the fight.

  2. Inspire other companies to take a stand on climate commitments and see activism as a necessity to corporate health.

  3. Inspire customers to reduce their footprint by buying only what they need and keeping things in play longer.

  4. Inspire policymakers to make decisions based on the long-term health of their societies, not on the short-term gain of private entities.

We look to collaborate with organisations to identify the issues worth standing up for and to help activate meaningful change. Please reach out so that together we create positive change.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
