The principles of good corporate governance apply equally to non-profit entities as they do for-profit entities. Good governance is crucial for a non-profit to not only be effective, but to attract the right kind of board members, volunteers, and staff, committed to ensuring the organization’s success and its compliance with applicable legal requirements. Good governance also bolsters non-profit leadership, enabling it to maintain the organization's purpose and make that purpose real to its staff. At Zircon Strategy, we believe that a non-profit’s governance structure should be strong enough to support the vision and purpose to the organization and attract funding for its cause. We champion the importance of effective board leadership and action, and empower boards of non-profits with the knowledge of good governance practices needed to encourage staff/members initiative and position the organization as a model non-profit organization. We help the organization create a bespoke strategy that aid its management’s authority to lead, facilitate the creativity to inspire, and promote the will to foster positive social change.

We also support the CSR oversight by the board of directors of companies through the constitution of a dedicated Public Responsibility Committee or Corporate and Social Responsibility Committee that helps to demonstrate the company’s corporate commitment to CSR at the highest levels. In addition to this, we believe that having a dedicated Lead is necessary to ensure that there is a focus on driving sustainability strategy and advancing a company’s CSR program. We thus assist companies to onboard qualified dedicated leaders in this regard, such as a Chief Social Sustainability Officer.
