LBG Canada Data Stories: Return on Program Management Investment (ROMI)

LBG Canada Spotlight: Philanthropic Giving Strategy Adapted to Economic Circumstances
Over the past two years, Cenovus has intentionally supported organizations and causes that have experienced increased demand during the downturn - focusing on basic needs, mental health and vulnerable populations with more philanthropically-motivated donations. When the price of oil was around the $100 mark, the community investment team at Cenovus was carefully investing millions of dollars in three strategic areas that aligned with both the integrated oil company's focus areas (learning, safety and well-being, and sustainable communities) and their business values.

Responsible Business & Employee Engagement

LBG Canada Increases Total Community Footprint by $115M, with Stakeholders
In 2016, stakeholder contributions enabled by LBG Canada companies totalled $115 Million. $54 Million of that total was employee giving!
90% of LBG Canada companies have a matched giving program, typically this involves the company matching dollar-for-dollar a charitable donation made by an employee. Some companies choose to match at a rate of 2:1 for donations made by executives. Matched giving essentially doubles the contribution and conceivably incentivizes charitable behaviour by sending a positive message to employees about the company's commitment to community.

Social Impact & Volunteering

Social Impact & Volunteering

Investing in Employee Experience - Engagement Through Volunteering
