Interview with Margaret Coady, Director, Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy (CECP)

Summary: Whether motivated by a desire to access new markets, to address stakeholder demands for greater involvement and transparency, or to react to shifts in the global competitive landscape—leading companies are beginning to think more holistically about the future of their role in addressing fundamental societal issues. Leveraging insights from recent CECP and Accenture interviews with pioneering corporate CEOs, as well as the perspective of a practitioner working at the frontier of this thinking, this session will review the trajectory from traditional corporate philanthropy practices to the doorstep of a new cross-sector model for engagement, Sustainable Value Creation.
