Wild about Scotland – Corporate Social Responsibility

Impact Marketing is about individuals and businesses showcasing / promoting to their community of consumers the positive impact they are working on within the community in which they operate (local or global) or within their business operations.

Clydesdale Bank in Scotland has a large economic impact through the UK with over 9,000 employees, more than 300 branches, and a network of over 70 Financial Solutions Centres, servicing 2.6 million customers.

One exciting project that attracted the attention of Impact Embassy is Wild about Scotland a Clydesdale Bank partnership with the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), delivering an outreach education programme on Scotland’s natural habitat, via a bespoke double-decker bus.

The bus launched on August 29th, 2014 in Whiteinch, Glasgow. A dedicated team of four from RZSS delivers lessons, aimed at primary school aged children, across the communities of Scotland.

The programme focuses on Scotland’s native species, habitats and environment. It includes practical, fun lessons that support the National Curriculum for Excellence (CfE). The lessons connect children to Scotland’s native species and the important part they play in the wider biodiversity across Scotland. Lessons cover beavers, mini-beasts and the Scottish Wildcat (Highland Tiger).

Helen Page, Customer Experience and Marketing Director at Clydesdale Bank, said: “RZSS makes a vital contribution to the conservation of Scotland’s wildlife through both direct preservation and through their commitment to educating the public on endangered species, habitats and ecosystems.

Chris West, CEO of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, said: “We are delighted to announce this significant partnership with Clydesdale Bank. Conservation through education is one of the founding principles behind the Society and remains one of our key goals to this day. – See more at: http://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/news/2014/08/clydesdale-bank-announces-parntership-with-rzss/#sthash.UXKlSP4s.dpuf

The Wild about Scotland team will contact schools directly to arrange lessons and also respond to enquiries via a registration process. To view the Tour Schedule please visit rzss.org.uk/wildaboutscotland or #wildaboutscotland.

IMPACT: The lessons through this partnership help engage a younger generation to Scotland’s wildlife not just in forests or “wild areas” of Scotland but in various habitats, including their own back gardens, and explain how all species are interconnected in some way, and reliant on each other for their existence.

Red Hot Impact – Silverlake Conservatory

Anyone can take inspiration from this story by self confessed (past)
delinquent Michael “Flea” Balzary bassist for the famous band Red Hot Hot Chili Peppers.

Nothing else needs to be said – just look at the passion he has for the Silverlake Conservatory

This is a great example of how people are inspired by music!

IMPACT: 700+ kids have now had access to music to change their lives just like Flea.
