Community Social Responsibility initiatives have the potential to create lasting impact by addressing systemic issues and driving sustainable development. By focusing on the specific needs of local communities, these initiatives can deliver targeted solutions that improve quality of life and promote long-term resilience. Whether it's investing in education, healthcare, environmental conservation, or economic empowerment, the impact of Community Social Responsibility extends far beyond short-term philanthropy. Through strategic partnerships and grassroots efforts, communities can build capacity, empower marginalized groups, and create pathways to opportunity for future generations

The members of the CLIMA Fund have been supporting grassroots movements for decades. We’ve learned that ‘grassroots’ means coming from, led by, and accountable to the people most impacted by a problem, as depicted in this infographic unpacking our learnings. Grassroots organizing has been a central strategy of almost every major social and economic transformation in world history—from ending apartheid to the recognition of Indigenous rights to women’s suffrage globally. Yet, the term ‘grassroots’ gets thrown around loosely and it is beginning to become watered down (but not in a way that supports grass roots). Defining and understanding this term will help funders and others in civil society in supporting grassroots change, and creating our own structures of accountability. https://lnkd.in/ea_dv852

We strongly believe mountains have the power to transform lives, connect people, and inspire greater responsibility in our personal lives and businesses. Our dedicated non-profit partners make the joy of mountain sports more accessible to marginalized and historically excluded populations, contribute to conservation efforts, and promote political engagement for effective climate policy.   Here are some examples of Mammut’s community engagement in supporting impactful organizations like:   - American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA): We support the AMGA's BIPOC Scholarship and Women’s Scholarship, helping to break down barriers and promote diversity in the guiding profession.   - ClimbAID: This non-profit brings the joy and benefits of climbing to communities affected by war and poverty, focusing on mental health, social integration, and personal development. We are honoured to be their primary partner since 2020, providing equipment, financial support, and volunteers.   - Protect Our Winters Switzerland (POW): Founded by professional snowboarder Jeremy Jones, POW advocates for stricter climate legislation to protect our planet. In 2023, Mammut joined forces with Patagonia to support the Swiss Outdoor Coalition, part of POW Switzerland's broader advocacy strategy.   Learn more about Mammut’s community engagement in our Responsibility Report https://lnkd.in/eupPE_ti
