Corporate Social Responsibility Images for the John Lewis Partnership

At Clarity Photos, we specialise in creating corporate social responsibility images for brands and organisations that are supporting their local communities through CSR initiatives.

Professional photography has the power to highlight and amplify the positive change businesses bring to communities. Through visual storytelling, social impact photography makes these initiatives tangible, inspiring action and engagement.

Capturing Social Impact: Our Work with the John Lewis Partnership

As part of its commitment to corporate social responsibility, the John Lewis Partnership (JLP) is one such example of a firm actively supporting the local communities in which they operate.

Whether it be in the proximity of a John Lewis store or a Waitrose shop, the wider community benefits from a range of impactful initiatives led by the JLP team.

Images of Corporate Social Responsibility

Here at Clarity Photos, we were recently commissioned to document several unique social impact projects for the John Lewis Partnership.

Each social impact project focused on a different demographic and location.

• Age UK Partnership

Age UK is a leading UK charity which strives to make every older person feels included and valued. 

One heartwarming initiative which JLP initiated in partnership with Age UK was to create a welcoming space within a Waitrose Café for local elderly residents. With tea, and biscuits provided, the space became a refuge from loneliness and friendly conversation, and we saw firsthand how uplifted the men and women were who participated.

• Urban Planning Project with Universities

Another project, in collaboration with Reading University, brought together real estate students and John Lewis Partnership architects to explore urban planning. Walking through the city together, they discussed and debated the future of urban development and how to design an inclusive city centre that benefits all.

• Urban Planning with Schools

Thirdly, another project involved capturing a school visit where children learned about urban planning and were inspired to design their ideal street, incorporating the facilities and amenities they would love to see in their local area.

What is Social Impact Photography?

Social impact photography is a form of visual storytelling that captures and conveys the challenges, resilience, and positive change within communities, often highlighting social issues, humanitarian efforts, and nonprofit initiatives. By documenting real-world struggles and solutions, it aims to raise awareness, inspire action, and drive meaningful change through compelling imagery.

The key objective for us at Clarity when working on social impact photography projects like these is to create a coherent visual narrative that raises awareness and inspires others to contribute to positive change.

We focus on capturing images that celebrate the work of others who are giving back to society.

Who Commissions Corporate Social Responsibility Images?

Many clients who commission us to create social impact photography stills and videography want to document and strengthen their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitments. They wish to demonstrate, internally and externally, the impact of the work they do.

Our clients recognise that corporate social responsibility images are powerful in helping others understand and appreciate the positive social impact of their CSR initiatives.

When we see others ‘doing’, we are compelled to ‘do’ as well. In this way, social impact photography serves as a catalyst for broader change, encouraging participation, support, and new initiatives that drive social good.
