Community and business partnerships are results of corporate values and social responsibility in action. To form a partnership first look into your company’s core values and strategy, and then research other entities with the same vision to form opportunities. Set goals with measurable outcomes such as, count hours volunteered, public relation analyses within Facebook or a website, and increased partnership opportunities. Most importantly tell about these partnerships in social media, press releases, and through internal and external company webpages. By measuring success of a project future profits can be determined.
