CANDi... saving the lives of stray cats and dogs through spay, neuter and adoption programs supported by the tourism industry, travelers and pet lovers.

All great corporations create lasting, meaningful relationships with their stakeholders: shareholders, employees, suppliers, consumers and the communities in which they conduct their business. – Tony Peyton

Today, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is more important than ever before.  Businesses in every industry are being challenged to create a positive social, environmental, and economic impact in the countries in which they operate.

An effective CSR program can enhance a company's reputation, build brand loyalty, and serve as a compelling competitive differentiator.

The tourism industry, with its size, prominence, and global reach, is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the business benefits of a CSR program.  Likewise, it is uniquely positioned to be a powerful agent for change in addressing issues that negatively affect local communities.

Increasingly, tourists want to support these efforts.  A recent survey^* found that a full one-third of the travel-active households polled make their vacation choices based on environmental and humanitarian performance.

The deleterious effects of stray dog and cat overpopulation - on public health, on environmental quality, on business, and on image - devalue destination communities and diminish the vacation experience around the globe.

CANDi can help your business customize programs to humanely control the stray animal population.  For information on creating a Corporate Partnership, contact Darci Galati at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
