Mission

The Brands for a Better Society Committee researches and analyzes brand involvement in advancing corporate social responsibility (CSR) principles in business and brand development and protection. The Committee raises awareness of strategies for brands to get involved in pro bono and CSR initiatives, best practices, and the benefits to brand value of such a commitment. It oversees the operation and promotion of INTA’s Pro Bono Clearinghouse.

Committee work includes writing articles, developing programming for events, creating engagement opportunities for members such as awards and CSR projects, and collaborating with the United Nations Development Programme, the World Intellectual Property Organization, and other international organizations to involve brands and highlight their CSR involvement.
