Public Private Partnership (SCOPE) .

Social, environmental, and economic development are interrelated. Skilled workers and a steady supply of raw materials are important factors for economic growth. Economic growth, in turn supports social and environmental development.

To spur social and environmental development, SCOPE supports Philippine-based companies to engage communities and marginalized groups in income generating projects that are related to their businesses.

Aligning social and environmental agenda with business goals maximizes the impact of initiatives while minimizing costs and a positive development cycle is triggered. Empowered communities enable companies to grow faster which in return generates other related income opportunities for the community.

Projects that maximize the social and environmental impact of businesses are often referred to as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

In short .
