SELF-ASSESSMENT:

The following section offers an overview of my personal reflections; I believe the points mentioned below

represent the significant achievements of the Unisa CCC over the past 5 years.

Please note

Annexure A offers an overview of the Albert Luthuli Centre for Responsible Leadership highlights

since its inception (I am the founding director).

The following section gives a broader overview of the successes of the Unisa CCC – the CCC recently

became an Institute.

It is however important to note that much of the success of the Unisa CCC is attributable to a team

effort however the broad direction of the CCC from its inception was to a large extent due to my

personal passion, direction and inputs. The Unisa Brand obviously played a very important role in the

achievements of the CCC without which it would not have been possible to establish a well-respected

Centre locally and internationally.

1. General achievements:

• Establish The Albert Luthuli Centre for Responsible Leadership at the University of Pretoria

• Establish the first Centre for Corporate Citizenship based at a University in Southern Africa

• Design and develop the strategic position of the Centre within the Unisa College of Economic and

Management Sciences

• Influence teaching and research in the field of corporate citizenship in SA and Africa

• Successfully scoped the field of corporate citizenship with the aim to develop a specific body of

knowledge in each of the following areas. These areas are:

1. Globally Responsible Leadership

2. Collaborative Governance and Accountability

3. Responsible Investment

4. Business and Climate Change

5. Brand Citizenship

• Develop a financial sustainability strategy of the CCC which included fund raising internally and

externally as well as Unisa funded positions

• Enter into various local and international partnerships including:

1. Becoming the Africa Academic Partner to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC)

2. Becoming the Africa Academic Partner to the Business and Human Rights Resource

Centre

3. Founding partner to the UNGC / EFMD Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative

(GRLI) (see later in this section for more detail)

4. Founding partner to the Global Educational and Research Network (GERN)

5. Partnering with AccountAbility (UK) and CSR Network (UK) in doing for 2 years (2006

and 2007) the Annual Accountability Rating of the SA Giants Top 50 Companies

6. The licensed partner for AccountAbility in providing training in AA1000, AA1000S and

AA1000SES

7. Partnering with the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP/FI)

in conducting research in Banking and Credit – inclusion of Environment, Social and

Governance issues in credit management and policies

• Under my leadership through extensive local engagement with SA businesses I established 3

Chair Endowments at the CCC

1. Murray&Roberts Chair in Collaborative Governance and Accountability

2. Noah Chair in Responsible Investment

3. Exxaro Chair in Business and Climate Change

• Under my leadership facilitated Unisa to become the first University in SA and second in Africa to

become a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact

• My personal involvement in the UNGC / EFMD GRLI was a significant experience for me. This

very important global initiative shaped my understanding and views of Globally Responsible

Leadership. Through this initiative, the United Nations Principles of Responsible Management

Education PRME) were created and today regarded as one of the most important initiatives

influencing Business School accreditation (Equis, AACSB etc). I contributed to the development of

these principles

• I started an initiative in June 2007 called “Young Community Leadership Initiative” (YCL)

seeking to “revive and restore the relationship between young people and their immediate

environment” The YCL Awards also recognise that there is a shortage of responsible leaders and

that it is vital to develop leaders at a very early stage. The target group for these awards are

Grade 9 – 11 learners. This project was piloted in the Limpopo Province in 2007 (with great

success) with over 70 entries from many schools and a final winner who received an

international visit to the World Children’s Prize in Stockholm

THE YCL project is divided into three categories:

1. The Immediate Natural Environment

2. The Immediate Community

3. The Immediate Community and the Natural Environment

Unfortunately, due to capacity constraints and Unisa not interested to fund this project, it was put on hold.

The YCL initiative succeeded in appointing a panel of judges including government and civil society leaders.

They participated in the pilot judging phase and are still very supportive o this initiative – mostly very

disappointed that it is on hold.

2. Educational Achievements

• Developed 2 short learning programmes (Open Distance Learning) in Corporate Citizenship and

Corporate Governance. These 2 short learning programmes have been running for the past 3 years

with great success

• Developed a semester course (Open and Distance Learning) for inclusion in the B Com 3rd year as

an elective subject called: Introduction to Corporate Citizenship. It was first offered in 2007 during

which a total of 300 students (1st and 2nd semester) chose to take this elective. The first semester

2008 had around 200 registrations

• A series of Executive Education (2 and 3 day programmes) were developed over the last 3 years

dealing with wide topics in the field of corporate citizenship. These short courses did not at the time

attract enough delegates due to a lack of marketing and capacity constraints within the CCC

• A number of in-house courses were also developed and presented in SA companies e.g. Anglo

Gold and Edcon

• Corporate Citizenship material included in Business Management 101, Supply Chain Management

201, Human Resource Management 301

• Chapter on Corporate Citizenship written for Business Management 101 handbook

3. Research Achievements

• Received a research grant from Massmart to do explorative research and to develop a body of

knowledge in the field called “Brand Citizenship.” This project has been done in partnership with

Clem Sunter and Chantell Illbury aiming to publish a set of brand scenarios within the context of

Corporate Citizenship. This project is currently regarded as the only of its kind in the world

• Received a grant from the German Development Agency in 2004 to establish a Head of

Research function at the CCC - Dr Ralph Hamann was appointed for two years with this funding

• The CCC successfully presented 2 International Research and Academic Conferences on

Corporate citizenship; 2004 in Johannesburg and 2006 in Ghana.

• Published “The State of Responsible Investment” Report in November 2007 – funded by Noah in

partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI)

• Published a Report called “Banking on Value”, a joint Research between the CCC and UNEPR FI

on SA and selected African banks’ on the extent to which credit policies incorporate Social,

Environmental and Governance Principles

• Published a 300 page book in partnership with the UN Global Compact called “Africa Leads” in

2006

• As a result of the Ghana 2006 CCC Conference, a book called The Business of Sustainable

Development in Africa under the editorship of Hamann et al will be launched in November 2008.

This book is a compilation of case studies presented at the Ghana conference

• Developed around 15 case studies on the role of SA businesses in being good corporate citizens

– these case studies have been widely used

• The CCC received funding from Barloworld for 2 years to do the Accountability Rating of the

Financial Mail SA Giants top 50. These ratings and rankings were successfully done in 2006 and

2007 and received wide coverage in the Financial mail and other media

• The CCC published a report in partnership with the BMR in 2006 in “Ethical Consumerism in SA”

• Various coverage of the research the CCC has done in newspapers, professional magazines and

Television interviews over the past 3 years

• The CCC published a report on the state of education in Business and Climate Change in SA in

2007

• The CCC published a report on the state of Corporate Citizenship teaching in SA MBA

programmes in 2006. This study is currently being repeated including 19 SA Business Schools

and 10 African University Business Schools

• The CCC secured 2 Peer Reviewed Journal Special editions (Journal of Corporate Citizenship in

2007 and Developing Southern Africa 2006) on Corporate Citizenship. These journals included

papers presented during the 2 Research Conferences the CCC organised

In summary:

My experience in the banking Sector for 12 years led me to the realisation that the business sector can

and should play a significant role in the development agenda of SA and the African continent. The praxis

though for SA business operating in a very challenging socio economic and environmental landscape, is

how to maximise its influence for the betterment of society including the natural environment. The tension

that exists for business to “do good” and still be profitable at the same time represents an immense amount

of energy that if utilised in a constructive manner, can result in creative opportunities for business and the

ability to mitigate important risk implications.

This realisation led me to use my personal passion and energy about the role of business in society, to

establish the Unisa CCC and subsequently the Albert Luthuli Centre for Responsible Leadership, which has

already become synonymous to thought leadership in the area of corporate citizenship and leadership in

SA and beyond. Tertiary institutions can and should play an important role in the corporate citizenship and

responsible leadership discourse. The condition however is for Universities to remain relevant and

responsive to a fast changing social and environmental business landscape and to fundamentally translate

these challenges into research and education opportunities.

What made me successful so far is my experience in the corporate sector and my good understanding of

the business sector’s challenges in the area of corporate citizenship and responsible leadership. I have

over the past 10 years succeeded in building lasting personal and institutional networks in the field of

corporate citizenship and responsible leadership. I am passionate to create learning opportunities through

research and education in building individual and institutional capacity, enabling individuals and businesses

to realise their power to make a difference in society.

I see my role in the future in continuing to build the emerging body of knowledge in responsible

leadership. This I will do by influencing and shaping curriculum to be more responsive and relevant in

broader society and to continue doing relevant research that will inform strategy and practice of globally

responsible leadership.
