The 500+ companies we serve each year around the globe are leaders in environmental, social, and governance action, and the thousands of individuals who make up this network are some of the best in the field!

CRISIS RESPONSE: On our blog, we are providing daily coverage on how member companies are responding to the George Floyd protests at Business Support for Protests of Racial Inequality, and the COVID-19 pandemic at Corporate Citizenship Responses to COVID-19. Check often for updates—and let us know if you would like us to share your company’s response at ccc@bc.edu. 

Here is how our members have been working to build better business and a better world:

Spotlight on You

Kala Gibson, executive vice president and head of business banking at Fifth Third Bank, recently penned an editorial titled "The Intersection of Rage, Fear, and Hope" in the Cincinnati Enquirer. In the editorial, Gibson addresses the emotions often associated not only within a Black Lives Matter movement, but also as a black man and the father of two young black men. "My heart is heavy, and I’m deeply saddened over the recent events, but I continue to have hope and faith in our country," stated Gibson. "I believe this is our defining moment. This is the moment we say enough is enough. This is the moment we stand against injustice and inequality."
