Corporate Giving by the FTSE 100

This week the Charities Aid Foundation launched their Corporate Giving by the FTSE 100 report. The report shows that companies gave £1.85 billion to charities last year, significantly less than the £2.51 billion they gave a decade ago.

The report also sheds light on sector specific trends, responses to Covid-19, the impact of inflation and public perceptions of giving by the FTSE 100. It features companies leading the way and provides recommendations on how the corporate world can show a consistent commitment to society.

HOW DID THE BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE UK SUPPORT CHARITIES IN THE LAST YEAR?   

Don’t miss the launch of our fourth 'Giving by the FTSE 100' report where we'll discuss insight and key findings from the research and share recommendations on how the corporate world can show a consistent commitment to society. 

This will be followed by a Q&A.     

QUESTIONS ON THE AGENDA

 --------------------------------------------------- 

HOW ARE THE FTSE 100 DOING? 

• Has giving by the FTSE 100 changed since our last report in 2018?

• Which companies top the rankings and which sectors are contributing the most? 

• Do the public think businesses have an obligation to support the local communities in which they operate?  

Alastair McCall, the author of the report, will be answering these questions.   

ARE COMPANIES AND POLICYMAKERS DOING ENOUGH?  

• What actions can companies take to demonstrate their commitment to society and maximise the impact of their giving?  

• How can policymakers help to improve and influence the national landscape for corporate giving?
