    Analysis of Sainsbury's Collaboration with Comic Relief

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Leeds Beckett Repository The Communication of Corporate-NGO Partnerships: Analysis of Sainsbury’s Collaboration with Comic Relief Lynn Rohwer Martina Topić Leeds Beckett University Leeds Business School Rose Bowl, Portland Crescent Leeds, LS1 3HB United Kingdom Abstract This study focuses on CSR communication using the example of Corporate-NGO partnership between British supermarket chain Sainsbury’s and Comic Relief. Questionnaires were distributed to 40 participants asking them about their consumer behaviour and opinion on partnerships. Using thematic analysis, two main themes have been identified in the data set: some consumers are sceptical towards cross sector partnerships because they assume selfish reasons behind the collaboration and view them as corporate PR tool. On the other hand, the majority of consumers evaluate Corporate-NGO Partnerships as appropriate and a gain for society at large. The analysis showed that Sainsbury’s customers know about the partnership with Comic Relief while non-customers lack awareness, and that the most successful means of communication of partnerships is the supermarket promotion. Key words: corporations, partnerships, supermarket, Sainsbury’s, Comic Relief Introduction The influence of business in society has grown over time. However, there has been a shift in society’s expectations towards business operations due to changing environmental and societal settings. In times of digital communications, consumers and other stakeholders are increasingly aware and demand a more socially responsible approach from corporations. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) meets these growing expectations and encourages businesses to modify their approaches (Tench et al., 2014).
