Revisit 2018 Trends in Corporate Social Investment through Investing in Society

As we approach Summer 2019, 2018 feels distant. With hindsight comes clarity, making now a great time to look back at the biggest trends and insights that defined the corporate social investment space last year.

Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose (CECP) launched Investing in Society last year with one overarching goal: to compile the industry's biggest trends and insights into one semiannual report. Developed from CECP’s original research, thought leadership, findings from the Giving in Numbers: 2018 Edition, thousands of discussions with more than 200 of the world’s largest companies, and engagement with leading experts and practitioners, Investing in Society is a 360-degree view of the corporate sector’s role in solving some of the world’s most pressing issues.
