Education & Culture
Corporate support for education and cultural development contributes to human capital formation, social cohesion, and sustainable development.
ISO 26000 identifies education and culture as key areas of community involvement, encompassing support for formal and non-formal education, promotion of local culture and traditional knowledge, and capacity building. Business contributions include scholarships and educational partnerships, STEM education programmes, vocational training and apprenticeships, digital literacy initiatives, support for cultural institutions and heritage preservation, and promotion of indigenous and local knowledge systems. These activities contribute to SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).
