How an engagement works

Four stages,
and you can start
at any of them.

CSR DIODE360° approach

Most engagements run the full arc. Some begin in the middle.

01

Diagnose.

We map your strengths, the evidence you already hold, and the places where funding is leaking away.

FIRST CONVERSATION RECURRING FUNDING

    Alongside the four stages, an employee engagement programme, so your people can take part rather than only fund it.

    Programmes

    Each can be booked on its own.

    Defined scope, quoted to the size of the job. Buy one, or take several on a retainer. Tell us which you need and we will price that, not a retainer you did not ask for.

    CSR 01

    CSR strategy and advisory

    CSR policy and theme selection against Schedule VII, due diligence on implementing partners, and programme design through to board-ready impact reporting.

    Companies · CSR committees
    ESG 02

    ESG and sustainability reporting

    Readiness for BRSR and the assurance that now comes with it, and the join between a company’s CSR programme and its wider ESG position, so the two report as one account of the business, not two.
