You’ll hear insights from the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship’s research on “The State of Corporate Citizenship 2017,” a unique research report that reveals what’s top of mind with executives and why the current global environment supports corporate citizenship efforts now more than ever before.

Stewart Rassier will share highlights from the report including:

  • Corporate citizenship helps companies successfully achieve strategic goals, particularly when they invest in programs for at least four years.
  • Companies are almost twice as likely to report success enhancing corporate reputation and reducing employee turnover when they integrate corporate citizenship objectives into overall business strategy.
  • Programs to increase diversity and inclusion, and reporting on social and environmental performance are among the topics that have increased most in importance to executive respondents.
  • Nearly 50% of executives reported that the Paris Agreement led to increased efforts to cut GHG emissions.

This complimentary event is a great opportunity to learn where your company stands in today’s environment, and to discuss how you can achieve even more with your most strategic corporate citizenship programs.
