The Ideas Compass



"The Ideas Compass is the place where small and medium-sized companies can find inspiration to innovate and evolve. The focus of this website is on CSR-driven innovation – an innovation process focusing on current social and environmental needs which gives companies an opportunity to develop sustainable products or services."

"CSI (Corporate Social Innovation) is also called sustainable innovation. CSI is about creating a good business by having sustainability as a focal point when the corporation develops a new product or service.

This entails developing products or services which may relieve some of the world's problems, such as disease, contaminated water, CO2 emission, hunger or the lack of education.

CSI is also referred to as CSR innovation. CSI is useful for businesses which work with innovation and/or CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)."
