Concord’s core operations do not market products or services in Bangladesh, therefore their social sustainability philosophy is based more on social intent rather than economic focus. There is a decentralized framework, where control of CSR activities is given to the Divisions / Strategic Business Units, under an over-arching focus on education, health, sport and environment to uplift living standards and create positive change. Operating in rural settings, infrastructure development has always been a key need in resource poor communities.
