Marketing - Marketing / Market Research / company values, corporate social responsibility

Russian term or phrase: «Нам не всё равно»

Part of a text about a company's corporate social responsibility.

This quote describes how they feel about social responsibility.

I was going to say "We are not indifferent" but didn't quite like the way this sounds.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated! Thanks

Thank you Rachel and Igor!

Thank you for your ideas, just for information "Мы заботимся" in Russian not only asks but needs an object - "o ком, о чём", but this is the original we have to deal with:)

I believe "We're involved" might be the best option.

Switching them around?

12:25 Sep 11, 2013

If I were you I'd use "we care" for "нам не всё равно", but perhaps "We're involved" for "Мы заботимся". To my ear "We support" is asking for an object: you support what? Whereas "involved" implies "socially involved". Was going to say "engaged", but they you'd really have to write out "socially engaged".

OK, changed my mind

06:56 Sep 11, 2013

I agree with you about this. I don't think "we are concerned" is the same thing as "Мы заботимся". I just want to avoid saying "We care" twice. After reading your comment just now, I have decided that "We support" is appropriate since they go on to describe how they support clients, employees, society, the planet, etc.

"We are concerned" for "Мы заботимся"

06:49 Sep 11, 2013

To tell the truth, I don´t feel "Мы заботимся" in "We are concerned", but obviously English is not my mother tongue - I might be wrong and simply miss one of the meanings.
If it´s close to "We take care of, provide support, assume responsibility for, etc" as in "We take care of our clients, employees, community..." - go for it.

What do you think of "We are concerned" for "Мы заботимся"?

Maria Popova

05:24 Sep 11, 2013

I would personally use "We do care" for this particular item, and "We nurture" for "Мы заботимся".

Here are the subheadings

05:09 Sep 11, 2013

OK Maria, here are the subheadings and the topic is corporate social responsibility:

• Мы заботимся

• Мы строим

• Мы хотим помочь
«Нам не всё равно» is part of the paragraph under this subheading.

Hope this helps! I am looking forward to seeing your ideas.

Sarah, maybe if you post the description of each title it will be easier to suggest an adequate translation. So far "мы заботимся" sounds like a bad reverse translation of "We do care", but on the other hand there´s hardly a better way of saying "Нам не всё равно" but with "We do care".

Notes to answerer

Asker: In my opinion this is a good way of saying this in English. However, the phrase "Мы заботимся" is listed as a heading in a section prior to the section of the text where this phrase is. I have translated "Мы заботимся" as "We care" so I want to write something else. It should be different for variety.

We don't stand by

Explanation:
Based on all of the above suggestions, but it includes the negative construction of the original.
"We don't just stand by" or "We don't stand idly by" are further possibilities, but may not sound good in the context.
