Why use BeCause?

BeCause: what we want people to do

We want staff and students across the University to be inspired to make positive changes at an individual and department level. In many cases people will simply be continuing the great work they already do, knowing it is fully supported by the University.

We also want them to know about the work that is being done by the institution, such as being the first university in the country to adopt a code of conduct under the Worker Rights Consortium, and research such as Project Sunshine which is focussing on food and energy sustainability.

Use BeCause in your communications

If you're running your own initiative that fit with CSR then we'd like you to promote it as a BeCause initiative.

We'd also like to mention it in external-facing communications, to raise awareness of our commitment to CSR and continue to improve our reputation.

We don't want to dilute any of your work but by using the BeCause stamp your activity will be seen as part of the wider University of Sheffield CSR programme of activities and will benefit from the joint promotion and recognition.

These examples of text, posters and publications give you some idea of how you might promote your own CSR initiative, or include it in your existing communications.
