As the world continues to grapple with injustice and inequality and as bad politicking fans the flames of tribal rhetoric in Sierra Leone, Corporate Social Justice will offer a new paradigm that imagines a healthier and mutually beneficial relationship between companies and the communities they interact with.
Dr. Konteh says, �As the world continues to grapple with injustice and inequality, and as bad politicking fans the flames of tribal rhetoric in Sierra Leone, Corporate Social Justice will offer a new paradigm that imagines a healthier and mutually beneficial relationship between companies and the communities they interact with.�
D-Unifier (Dr. Richard Konteh) also mentioned that, "it is worth noting that corporate social justice hardly exists in Sierra Leone. Companies who profess to have a Corporate Social Responsibility agenda mostly use it as a feel-good approach."
Dr. Konteh said, �Corporate Social Justice is not a feel-good approach that allows everyone to be heard, and by nature does not result in initiatives that will make everyone happy.� Dr. Konteh suggested that, �the first step companies or the business community should take is to publicly support social cohesion and national unity platforms through public statements and donations. Doing so demonstrates a clear commitment to taking a stance, even if it alienates certain stakeholders.�
Dr. Richard Konteh�s Unifier Campaign is big on social reforms. D-Unifier is a movement that seeks to change the social and political landscape in Sierra Leone. Dr. Konteh is particularly concerned about injustice - be it social, economic, political, legal or tribal. �We believe sustainable poverty alleviation is possible in Sierra Leone only when greater equity among all the population groups is achieved,� Dr. Konteh affirmed. D-Unifier is helping to shape a poverty-free and socially-just Sierra Leonean society.
