5th Annual csr insights report

ACCP and YourCause from Blackbaud recently surveyed the corporate social impact field to better understand the trends impacting corporate social responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) professionals. The 2024 survey was conducted in April and garnered responses from 125 companies representing more than $1B in community investment. 

The survey report, along with key data points, graphs, and insights, shares results from those in the profession regarding several areas of the CSR and ESG ecosystem, including terminology, resources needed, budgets and staffing, employee volunteerism trends, priority social issues, C-Suite commitment, and increased demand to measure impact.
