The latest edition of our newsletter, Corporate Impact Today, is out now. A few thoughts from it: Now more than ever we need corporate impact leaders to lead. Kudos to those companies who are pushing back and publicly committing to DEI, amplifying their environmental goals, and supporting their employees. We know that many corporate impact leaders are struggling with limited resources and staff, and a directive from senior leaders to tone down communication around ESG. But we also know that there is still a need to keep programs moving and make progress toward annual impact goals. We recognize the pressures you face, and we're here to help. On top of your already full plate, experts in our network can also help assuage the onslaught of regulatory requirements, data collection, and reporting. There’s nothing I enjoy more than talking through how to maximize resources in both predictable and unpredictable times. Let's talk.
