A SPECIAL MESSAGE:

At its most basic, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) means that companies operate in a way that enhances their social, economic and environmental impacts on society. CSR strategies help companies create long-term value for all of their stakeholders.

But, we can’t talk about CSR without acknowledging that we are living in extraordinary times.

A pandemic that has sickened millions and killed hundreds of thousands continues to rage through the world, affecting disadvantaged communities many times more than affluent ones. There is enormous civil unrest and protest in the US – and spreading globally — shining a light on racism in all its forms and specifically on the killing of black men and women by police. We are facing an ever-increasing number of environmental disasters brought on by climate change. Unemployment, extreme economic hardship, deep societal divisions, and mistrust abound.

We must meet these challenges with all we have…working together, working hard, working with compassion for all.

And, things are happening! Companies, nonprofits, and individuals are quickly adapting to the moment. They’re rolling out audacious ideas in record time. Creating a more just future for all is starting to mean something. Ready to get involved? Let’s talk.

Janice is one of the smartest, most organized and most diplomatic people I’ve worked with. She is fantastically skilled at communicating – with peers, upper management, partners and those who report to her. She leads projects with an understanding of the micro and macro issues, deadlines, personalities involved, and results needed. I hope to work with her again.”

Janice is a consummate networker and connector. She is passionate about bringing people together and using her talents to drive change. UPSTREAM is a small organization with a big cause, and Janice has provided insights, support and connections that have helped move our work forward.

Is Janice Kuhn the same smart, efficient, personable person who was my Assistant long ago in the glory days of ABC News? People change, you know. But not Janice – from what I hear, she’s only gotten better at getting the job done right and if, at 86, ABC rehires me, we go back together!

We love working with Janice! She shares our passion for the environment, biodiversity and sustainable development through innovative financing. In addition to her contagious optimism, Janice brings a deep network of contacts across sectors and is skilled at identifying potential collaborators. We also value her endless stream of ideas and look forward to our brainstorming sessions.

Janice is an experienced senior level professional with a very strong moral compass. She has a very high sense of honor and professionalism that remains consistent across whatever task or challenge she faces. Her charisma and sense of humor are also great attributes and professional assets.
