Workshop 02 - Smart Citizenship

A lever for social impact

Using AI to move
social impact further.

A lever multiplies effort. The same is true of AI in corporate citizenship - but only with the right capability and the right guardrails.

You leave with three things you can use Monday: a tool you are cleared to run, a checklist you own, and one task you can show next time.

AI advises - you decide, and you sign.

11 June 2026

02 - Why you’re here

The ask keeps growing.
The team doesn’t.

AI is the lever that gives that capacity back. Aimed well, it points two ways - and both run on the same discipline.

01 Inward
Your own CC work

Reporting, partner research, the internal pitch. Faster delivery returns more of your capacity to the mission itself.

02 Outward
To the nonprofits you back

Lend a data team for a two-day model review. Fund a partner’s EU-hosted tooling. Scope one pro-bono AI project a quarter.

Both directions rest on one principle: the right tool, used safely, with a named person accountable.

03 - The frame

AI across the CC value chain.

The point is knowing where AI helps - and where CC owns the responsible-AI call.

AI advises - you decide, and you sign.

04 - Live demo

Draft it. Catch it. Sign it.

01
Draft it

Ask for a CSRD paragraph on our community programme. Minutes, not an afternoon.

02
Catch it

It invents a figure that was never in the brief. You spot it - because you read every line.

03
Sign it

Your name goes on it, not the AI’s. You own the result - it was only ever a tool.

“…reaching €2.3M in measurable community value last year.” ↳ a number the AI made up - caught before it shipped.

One task, end to end - the demo teaches the habit. Your take-home field guide carries the rest - every tool, ten ready prompts, the pitch, the outward play - because a 90-second clip should build the reflex, not bury it. Inspiration to adapt, not a rulebook.

05 - Which tool

Pick a tool that fits your boundary.

Microsoft Copilot Start here Monday
Inside your M365 data boundary
Sanctioned starting point. If you already run Microsoft 365, your data stays where it is - the shortest path to a tool you can use now.
Langdock / Mistral
EU-hosted
Pilot-ready. EU-based, multi-model. Merck, BASF cited by the vendor - verify for yourself.
DeepL
EU-hosted · Germany
Narrow and safe. Translation and write-assist, built in the EU. Dependable for what it does.
Briink / SAP Joule
Domain-specific
Specialist - slower to clear. Impact, ESG and ERP workflows where a general chatbot falls short; expect a DPIA first.

EU-hosted is the start, not the finish. GDPR-capable ≠ compliant - it still needs a DPA, a DPIA, and Betriebsrat sign-off. And whatever the tool: green for drafting and research, red the moment real personal data or a funding decision is in play.

06 - Getting AI approved

Three arguments that unlock an AI budget.

Art. 4
The literacy duty

EU AI Act staff AI-literacy has applied since Feb 2025. Most organisations aren’t yet compliant; enforcement begins Aug 2026.

Today
A live data leak

Staff already paste company data into private ChatGPT accounts. A sanctioned tool closes a leak that is open right now.

8 wk
Ask for a pilot

Don’t request a rollout. Request a pilot: five licences, one team, one measured metric.

The ask “An 8-week pilot - five licences for the CC team, measured on hours saved in CSRD reporting. About €25 per user per month. Owner: me.”

AI advises - you decide, and you sign.

07 - Your position

Write your position. Point it outward.

A position you can adopt

“We use AI to extend our impact, never to replace judgment. Staff use sanctioned, EU-hosted tools inside our data boundary. AI drafts and scans; people decide and sign.”

Who signs it: CC lead · Data protection officer · Betriebsrat

08 - One ask

Pick one task.
Try it this week.

One sanctioned tool. One result you can show next time. Your name on it, not the AI’s. Your take-home field guide has the prompts to start from - pick one:

→Draft a CSRD paragraph in Copilot - then run the checklist before you sign.
→Summarise five partner reports - and verify every figure it hands back.
→Scope one pro-bono AI ask with a nonprofit you fund.

AI advises - you decide, and you sign.
