CEOs Pursue Business Opportunities Where Corporate and Societal Priorities Converge

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Can businesses sustain meaningful growth, drive innovation, and simultaneously address some of the most important societal challenges facing communities and nations globally? The CEOs whose insights form the basis of a new research report by the Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy (CECP), an international forum of global CEOs focused on raising the level and quality of corporate engagement on societal issues, and Accenture (NYSE: ACN), a global management consulting, technology services, and outsourcing company, see the answer to that question as an unequivocal “yes.” These CEOs are moving beyond traditional ideas of philanthropy and beyond traditional corporate strategy as well; they are looking for competitive advantage and sustainable profitability in the increasingly-converged space between financial success and societal progress.
