Best Practices in Reporting on Corporate Citizenship & Philanthropy: Session Four

July 26, 2023 02:00 PM ET - 04:00 PM ET

Background

Now is an opportune time for companies to take a fresh look at how they are publicly reporting on their corporate citizenship efforts. First, corporate citizenship is becoming more integral to executing companies’ business strategy – and more interconnected with its sustainability efforts. Second, it’s increasingly important for companies to tell their corporate citizenship story in a way that resonates with different stakeholders: for example, it can be a powerful driver for attracting, retaining, and motivating employees, as well as enabling investors, regulators, and the public to evaluate performance. Third, measuring and reporting on the impact of corporate citizenship initiatives can lead to more effective corporate citizenship programs over time.

Our Working Group on Measuring and Reporting on Corporate Citizenship and Philanthropy is a series of four Chatham House Rule discussions on current practices in corporate citizenship measurement and reporting – and what companies should aim for in the future.

**Join us for Session 4: Organizing for Success in Corporate Citizenship Measurement and Reporting.**

At the final session, we’ll address (i) who “owns” corporate citizenship measurement reporting, (ii) what is the role of sustainability, communications, government relations, marketing, and other core functions in ensuring the most effective results, and (iii) what are the roles of the CEO, board, internal/external advisory committees, and business unit leaders in the process?
