As Pakistan’s economy has grown, several sectors have boomed at the same time - media, advertising, banking, finance, telecom, and others. Consumers and people have not only enabled these sectors to grow immensely, but have allowed corporations to touch and influence their lives in profound ways.

Corporations, their products and services, and the way they are connecting with society can affect how people behave in their lives; can affect cultural norms; can affect societal values; and can be a beacon of guidance to society as it heads into the future.

Everyone from farmers, chai wallas, doctors, educationalists, customer service professionals and more have seen dramatic, disruptive change in their lifestyles because of an increase in communications technologies and microlending.

But are corporations aware of the high standards of responsibility that a socially-aware society is now beginning to place on them? If companies can actually change the way we think about the future, the way we speak, how we respect one another and come closer, do those companies even know how they should be thinking or planning about their social responsibilities?

Can they find an actual business incentive to do so?

Social Bridges aims to answer these questions. We are bringing together leaders from corporations, MNCs, academic institutes, NGOs, government bodies and even international experts together in one place here on the Social Bridges platform. What this means is that YOU can now have direct access to speak to them, discuss the realities of their work with them and together this community can explore the right path of CSR activities that corporations can adopt!

This is very exciting - because a democratic, decentralized discussion activity like this is unprecedented in this country. This is exciting because only by putting our intellect together into mature discussion can hope to go forward as a thinking society.

Join Saad, our social mentors and the Green & White team as we all find corporate social leadership in Pakistan.
