Encast is the world’s first transaction-free donation platform for causes. 100% of every donation goes to charity. A single tax receipt at year end makes it convenient to give securely: anytime, anywhere. Corporate social responsibility often evolves when the world goes through a philosophical shift. The current environment surrounding COVID-19, the economic recession, and most recently, global civil unrest, makes one thing clear: we are entering the age of corporate social justice, as Lily Zheng says in the Harvard Business Review. Zheng defines Corporate Social Justice as a reframing of CSR that centers any initiative or program on measurable, lived experiences of groups harmed and disadvantaged by society.
