2011 RECAP

Nov. 17, 2011 marked the announcement of the 11th annual Corporate Citizenship Awards winners, known simply as "The Citizens." 

 

Each year, Citizens finalists exemplify the continued evolution of corporate citizenship, illustrating its movement from the periphery of business activity to the strategic alignment with the core of the company.

 

Reflecting on all finalists in 2011, words such as "sustained impact," "strategic relationships," and "business imperative" come to mind. Learn their stories now.

Disaster

disaster response and recovery Program

BCLC helps businesses communicate and collaborate with each other and with the nonprofit and government sectors to make disaster relief, recovery, and reconstruction activities more effective.

With a focus on community resilience before disasters and long-term economic recovery afterwards, the program is a mechanism for sharing the latest ideas on disaster assistance, practicing recovery plans, highlighting the good work of corporate citizens, and helping to rebuild the livelihoods of people affected by extreme events.

BCLC Lead:

  • Gerald McSwiggan

Business Co-Chairs:

  • Ken Sternad, UPS
  • Mary Wong, Office Depot Foundation
Environmental Innovation

Across America, businesses both large and small are developing new ideas, inventing new technologies and changing the way they interact with the environment. However, they often struggle to find investors, customers, partners, and policy advocates. In response, BCLC’s Environmental Innovation Network (EI Network) initiative seeks to identify, raise awareness, and promote business solutions and other contributions to environmental innovation. 

 

The Top Priorities for the EI Network are:

  • Advancing R&D and Product and Technology Innovations for Environmental Progress
  • Stimulating Local, Regional, and National Green Market Development
  • Sharing Financial Service and Project Investment Tools for Environmental R&D
  • Identification and Advancement of Business Resource Management Practices
  • Cultivating Awareness of Green Supply Chain Opportunities
  • Capturing Lessons Learned and Best Practices in Promoting Environmental Innovation
