Report on State of Corporate Citizenship earns kudos for Hitachi Foundation
By Tim Wilson, Editor & Writer, Boston College Center
“Weathering the Storm: The State of Corporate Citizenship in the United States 2009” reported that despite a year dominated by dark economic clouds, some rays of light managed to shine through in the form of companies’ commitment to corporate citizenship.
Now it appears some sunny news has shined on the report itself.
The Hitachi Foundation, sponsor of the State of Corporate Citizenship survey and report, has won a Wilmer Shields Rich Award for “Weathering the Storm” from the Council on Foundations. The award recognizes grant making foundations and corporate giving programs for excellence in communication strategies and techniques that advance their grant making goals.
The 2009 State of Corporate Citizenship in the United States is the fourth biennial survey of the attitudes and actions of senior executives in small, medium and large businesses regarding corporate citizenship. It also explored the challenges of integrating corporate citizenship into core business practices and how tough economic times have impacted these practices. For the first time it also examined how executives view new public policy challenges and their reaction to public expectations for better regulation of business.
