Help

Creating a better world requires teamwork, partnerships and collaboration, as we need an entire army of companies to work together to build a better world within the next few decades. This means corporations must embrace the benefits of cooperating together.

Interpersonal

As a company representative, I need to confidently connect and communicate with employees, government officials, and community partners. I talk with them about how our company supports the community and takes responsibility for making a positive impact.

Research

I study food trends, consumer preferences, and industry research to help develop products that people will enjoy and trust.

Public Speaking

I often talk to classrooms, community groups, or the public, so being comfortable speaking in front of people is a big part of the job.

Persuasive

It can take some convincing to get employees to realize they also play a role in the company’s social responsibility; being persuasive helps get everyone on the same team, and helps the public realize how seriously we’re taking our corporate responsibility commitments.
