The 2020 Film Festival’s Finalists!

Congratulations to our 2020 International Corporate Citizenship Film Festival entrants for the amazing programs and initiatives that inspired all 56 of our submissions. The entries this year covered a lot of ground, highlighting work done to help communities thrive, protecting threatened rainforests, and inspiring shared value through skills-based volunteering, inclusion and diversity programs, and thoughtful partnerships.
The team at the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship feels so lucky to be able to honor excellence in corporate citizenship and this year’s films surpassed the already high bar set by previous contests. Thanks to the 2020 Film Festival—presented by Blue Shield of California—tens of thousands of voters got to learn more about the great work being undertaken by companies across the CSR landscape.
From the nine finalists below, the winner of each category, including a special award for Fan Favorite (based on public votes) and Best in Show (based on overall excellence in storytelling, production, and the connection of corporate citizenship to business value) will be announced at the 2020 International Corporate Citizenship Conference on March 30 – April 1, 2020 in San Francisco.
