What is the Humanities Department?

A more authentic CSR.

Corporate Social Responsibility was the buzzword of the 2010s probably with many corporates scrambling to prove that they were giving back to society.

Many did actual good - incorporating empowering and inclusive actions into their core business. But there were some where CSR became an afterthought.

CSR needs to be more than just brownie points, or “community service”.

Humanities Department is a refreshed take on Corporate Social Responsiblity. It is run by humans. For humans. With humanist values at its core.

Having a “Humanities Department” in your company empowers you to do good not just for the sake of “social responsibility”. It also gives companies and their teams a more authentic way of sharing about the good that they do, and employees will actually feel proud about the impacts their company is making.
