Announcing 2020 Film Festival winners!

Every year, The Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship encourages companies to share innovative and inspiring CSR stories during our International Corporate Citizenship Film Festival—and every year companies rise to the challenge. This year more than 55 companies submitted videos that showcased efforts that varied from ocean clean-up activities to the impact of employee resource groups.
While, in years past, we have announced which Film Festival Finalists will take home the prize(s) during our International Corporate Citizenship Conference, our 2020 winners are the first group to be acknowledged digitally. In our world of physical distancing, these videos remind us of the importance of social connection—even in an increasingly virtual world. Please join me in celebrating all who submitted videos for sharing their inspiring corporate citizenship work.
Our 2020 Film Festival winners showcase international initiatives that illustrate why corporate citizenship matters so much. Because—through creative partnerships, innovative solutions, and powerful programs—corporate citizenship creates the world in which we want to do business and the world in which we want to live.
For only the second time in the 12-year history of the Film Festival, we had a tie for first place. Please join us in congratulating all four of our winners!
