This project looks to increase the number of corporate volunteering events in the Swiss Nature Park system. We provided the research and framework in order to expand the target companies to include U.S. and international companies with operations in Switzerland. We analyzed the cultural and business differences in U.S. and Swiss corporate volunteering initiatives as well as identified trends that will assist in making the volunteering events more applicable on a global scale. We also looked into the process of identifying and approaching these companies as efficiently as possible. In conclusion, we found that the volunteering events could be adapted to include these new audiences with only minor structural changes to the product and process.
