Who i am
About me
Brian Shurman
Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Expert From Canada
As a corporate social responsibility, community impact and fundraising professional, I understand that a healthy and productive culture comes not from what we take, but what we put in to our communities that counts.
Our People. Our Planet. Our Business. I am a Social Responsibility Manager first and foremost, well-established with a leadership background. My international experience, directorship roles, education and ability to foster relationships means effective business and the advancement of an invigorated corporate culture. I am adept at creating and measuring cutting edge stakeholder engagement and community support programs; be they local, coast-to-coast or cross-border. That experience includes governance of employee ambassadorship programs and guiding social sustainability committees. I have a robust background in managing successful fundraising and volunteerism strategies for causes that align with company culture and citizenship measures. Identifying and implementing an ongoing Community Investment Strategy is not only a passion but a strength.
I do this because I love it. We are all guests on this astounding planet and together we're stronger.
