Article 25 Presents "Life's a Pitch! Corporate Social Responsibility in global Architecture"

CSR in architecture should be more than a paragraph on a practice website. Done well, it connects money, time, skills and visibility to causes that need built environment support.

Stephen Drew speaks with David Murray from Article 25 about Giving Tuesday, humanitarian architecture, the impact of COVID-19 on charities, the Cornerstone CSR programme, global projects, volunteering, fundraising and how practices can support meaningful causes.

The conversation covers:

How Article 25 connects architecture and construction support with humanitarian work
Why CSR needs a credible route to impact rather than vague intent
How companies and individuals can support charity work through skills, time and fundraising
Why volunteering can also help people build useful career experience
How built environment businesses can think more seriously about social responsibility
