From 2018, Cornerstone has chosen to donate money raised from our regular charitable events to projects administered through the Gold Standard. The Gold Standard was established in 2003 by WWF and other international NGOs as a best practice standard to ensure projects that reduced carbon emissions under the UN’s Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) also delivered on the dual mandate to foster sustainable development. Our donations allow us to offset the carbon produced through our business activities, thereby protecting the climate while also helping communities access critical services like energy, safe water, food and education.
Cornerstone also continues to sponsor Harleston Town Football Club, which plays in the Thurlow Nunn North Division. Formed in 1885, the club is a major focal point for the local community and has seen many Cornerstone employees involved as players and managers over the years. Recently the club has enjoyed an excellent run of form and string of promotions.
As the club’s main sponsor, Cornerstone has made a significant contribution to club finances since 2011, funding vital infrastructure improvements as well as new kit.
Harleston Town FC’s General Manager commented “I am absolutely delighted that Cornerstone will be sponsoring us for another season. Like the football club, Cornerstone is a major part of the local community and for us to come together once again is fantastic news for all involved”.
