In Los Angeles, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a guiding principle for meeting groups seeking to make a positive impact. Your attendees can dream, create and thrive while they’re here. They can look forward and give back. When you make plans to embrace various CSR initiatives, it helps those in need and empowers your team. These rippled efforts create impacts that resonate long after your group’s time spent here.
The LA community leans into opportunities and invests in the lives of others through meaningful team-building experiences and custom volunteering programs. From partnering with one of our local nonprofits—like LA Works and Feet First LA—to participating in community engagement activities, like running events hosted by the Skid Row Running Club, there are countless opportunities for your group to take advantage of in our destination. These hands-on experiences will both aid the disadvantaged and give your attendees a sense of fulfillment and purpose.
Along with getting directly involved in community engagement efforts, meeting groups can support local businesses and social enterprises in LA that prioritize sustainability. For instance, you can choose to host your gathering at eco-friendly venues, stay at hotels that have environmentally conscious practices, partner with sustainable catering services that utilize locally sourced food and beverage products, or use public transportation options. By doing this, you and your attendees will be doing your part in conserving the environment and reducing your carbon footprint.
Additionally, Business Connect, LA’s supplier diversity program, connects you to the city’s network of minority, women, LGBTQ+ and veteran-owned business suppliers, providing them with the opportunity to support your event. You can connect directly to this network through LA Tourism and integrate the services you need into your meeting, convention or event.
LA’s Career Academy is also an excellent CSR opportunity that will inspire your group and the community. The program bridges the gap between high school students from underserved socioeconomic backgrounds and their access to quality education by connecting them with enriching experiences at the LA Convention Center (LACC) during conventions and consumer shows.
Integrating intentional and impactful plans into your meetings is easy when you plan them in LA.
