CSR & Social Impact – Business Development Association (BDA)
we see business development as more than a driver of profit it is a responsibility to create sustainable, inclusive, and ethical growth worldwide.
At the Business Development Association (BDA), we see business development as more than a driver of profit it is a responsibility to create sustainable, inclusive, and ethical growth worldwide. As the global authority in business development, BDA integrates Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into every standard, certification, and framework it develops, ensuring that business growth creates long-term value for organizations, people, and society.
BDA has developed a CSR framework aligned with the Body of Competency & Knowledge BoCK setting global standards for responsible business development.
Our framework is built on four pillars:
Ethical Leadership: promoting transparency, integrity, and fairness across organizations
Sustainable Growth: ensuring strategies align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Community Empowerment: building capacity for entrepreneurs, SMEs, and underserved communities
Institutional Responsibility: helping companies design CSR initiatives that reinforce organizational excellence.
Through this framework, CSR becomes an integral part of every BDA Certification and Business Accreditations and Strategic Partnership.
CSR is no longer optional, it is the foundation of sustainable business success. Embedding CSR into business development practices ensures that companies:
Build trust with stakeholders.
Attract socially conscious investors and clients.
Enhance long-term resilience in competitive markets.
BDA reinforces this vision by making social impact a requirement for organizations seeking Accreditations and Recertification for professionals
