Core Philosophy

In an article in the Harvard Business Review titled "The Link Between Competitive Advantage and Corporate Social Responsibility", Michael Porter and Mark Kramer state that, "the prevailing approaches to CSR have been so disconnected from strategy that they have obscured many great opportunities for companies to benefit society. What a terrible waste. If corporations were to analyze their opportunities for social responsibility using the same frameworks as their business choices, they would discover, as Whole Foods Market, Toyota, and Volvo have done, that CSR can be much more than a cost, a constraint, or a charitable deed - - it can be a potent source of innovation and competitive advantage."

We couldn't agree more!

In fact with each event we strive to support the 10 Principles of The UN Global Compact while positively impacting the triple bottom line – people, planet, profit.

Our CORE Philosophy is:

Creativity, Organization, Responsibility, and Ethics



Creativity:

Our team is a collection of socially minded, globe-trotting professionals. Each one of us is aware of emerging industry trends, hot social and environmental topics, social media, and the newest technology. That knowledge, combined with extensive meeting experience and community consciousness converge to create highly customized and extraordinary events.

Organization:

Oftentimes meeting and event planning becomes a secondary responsibility of individuals whose strengths and training lie in other areas. Essentials elements of the planning process may be overlooked as your internal planners juggle multiple tasks. Our keen attention to detail and strong organizational skills ensure this will be the most successful and stress free meeting you've ever planned.

Responsibility:

At A&M we believe that innovating for sustainability is a critical driver of overall success and leadership. Today, more than ever, companies have a responsibility to leverage their financial, capital and human resources to give back to the people and resources that made them successful.

Ethics:

Today clients require greater transparency than ever. As a citizen of the world we have a responsibility to set a positive example for our communities. Through honesty and accountability we are committed to being your trusted and reliable partner in achieving a measurable return on your investment fairly and with integrity.
