The Challenge
While advocating for an expanded employee giving and volunteerism program, the Head of Community Engagement and Partnerships at a major multinational beverage company, a member of the ESG & CSR Board, was challenged by leadership with an existential question: Why should this work sit with CSR and not HR?
How the ESG & CSR Board Helped
The Board Member posted this question to our private, facilitated member forum, where within two days, they received team structure details from more than a dozen CSR leaders at major enterprises.
The responses included specifics around:
- Where their programs sit
- How they came to those structures
- Responses they’d given to their leadership when asked the same question
The Result
The Board Member received actionable insights and was able to create a plan based on benchmarks from peer organizations to bring to their next meeting with leadership.
