TranscriptCorporations used to consider themselves as having one constituent: the shareholder. That has changed. Engaging with the communities where corporations have operations, where their supply chains are located, and with society in general, is critical to be effective in today’s business climate.
In this episode of C-Suite Perspectives, Jeff Hoffman, the Institute Leader of Corporate Citizenship & Philanthropy at the Governance & Sustainability Center, joins President and CEO Steve Odland, both of The Conference Board, to discuss the evolution of the function and what it takes to align initiatives with the business in complex political and social contexts.
Tune in to find out:
• How has corporate citizenship evolved over time?
• What are the biggest challenges in navigating the complex landscape of social issues and political polarization?
• How can companies ensure their corporate citizenship efforts are strategic and aligned with their overall business goals?
• How can companies leverage their resources and influence to make a meaningful impact?
• What are the key trends shaping the future of corporate citizenship and philanthropy?
