2015 marked the 10th anniversary of Giving in Numbers, the leading corporate societal engagement report that CECP releases.

Leading CEOs from around the globe gathered on February 23, 2015 for an interactive discussion and case study review in which business leaders shared strategies for creating a competitive advantage by infusing a higher purpose throughout their core business strategy.

Speakers from across sectors, including Fortune 500 CEOs, foundation presidents, Forbes “30 under 30” honorees, best-selling authors, and many other of today’s most sought-after thought leaders, present and interact with attendees at the CECP Summit.

While CEOs learned that
trust in business is low and expectations have never been higher, corporate societal investment increased, and became more focused and innovative. But CEOs agreed they could do more.

A clear theme emerged from the 2013 CECP Summit: collaboration. It’s not just something that organizations do in times of tight resources.

CECP’s 8th Annual Board of Boards CEO conference featured panel discussions focused on the crucial role leading CEOs can play in engaging the interest of consumers and shareholders.
