What is the task of the „Charter of Principles of Good Cooperation between Business and Non-Governmental Organizations”?

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the „Benefactor of the Year” Competition, the first in Poland „Charter of principles of good cooperation between business and non-governmental organizations” was created. It is a set of values, principles and benefits referring to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 17 – „Partnership for the Goals”.

Supporting business-NGO cooperation is the implementation of the 25-year mission of the „Benefactor of the Year” Competition. That is why this year a document was created that can be used by large, medium and small companies in Poland when creating procedures, documents and internal regulations for specific cooperation. It is aimed at NGOs, companies, corporate foundations; both those that are already cooperating and those that are just trying to cooperate in this way. It can be an inspiration or a guide for other entities that undertake cross-sectoral cooperation. The document is also a response to the problem of using the superior position of companies over non-governmental organizations or, on the other hand, misunderstanding of the needs of companies by NGOs.

The document gives the appropriate rank of cooperation between NGOs and business. It also allows you to build synergies both at the strategic and operational level. In practice, the Charter is designed to contribute to more effective business operation in the field of social responsibility, more effective implementation of common goals, more accurate spending of funds.

– Managers in companies notice partners from NGOs, because they can cause that the impact of a social project will be many times greater than initiated only by business. For this reason, the card is an impulse that is supposed to stimulate the common energy. It indicates that the best practice is cooperation – says Dr. Bolesław Rok, professor at Kozminski University.

Among the organizations whose representatives were part of the working group working on the Charter were m.in responsible business forum.

The creation of the Charter was coordinated by the Academy for the Development of Philanthropy in Poland – the organizer of the Benefactor of the Year competition.
