Some Definitions • Social Marketing is the systematic application of marketing, along with other concepts
and techniques, to achieve specific behavioral goals for a social good. – The primary aim of social marketing is "social good", while in "commercial marketing" the aim is
primarily "financial". This does not mean that commercial marketers can not contribute to achievement of social good.
Wikipedia
• Cause Marketing (or cause-related marketing) is a mutually beneficial collaboration between a corporation and a nonprofit in which their respective assets are combined to (1) create shareholder and social value, (2) connect with a range of constituents (be they consumers, employees, or suppliers), and (3) communicate the shared values of both organizations.
Jocelyn Daw (Marketing Consultant) – Cause marketing differs from corporate giving (philanthropy) as the latter generally involves a
specific donation that is tax deductable, while cause marketing is a marketing relationship generally not based on a donation.
Wikipedia
• Sustainable Marketing is the process of planning, implementing and controlling the development, pricing, promotion and distribution of products in a manner that satisfies the following three criteria: (1) customer needs are met (2) organizational goals are attained, and (3) the process is compatible with ecosystems.
Donald Fuller (Sustainable Marketing Consultant) – Sustainable Marketing encourages the process of innovation by turning the marketing process into
an experimental, iterative process that has close ties to the customer. Individuals and interactions on a daily basis are important. Customer Collaboration over customer transactions. Responding to change over blindly following a plan.

A Caveat…
Think of your HR from the perspective of “running a business”, not “running a charity”
