Loading ...London Benchmarking Group
Seventeen years ago,the head of NatWest Bank in Britain walked into the office of an executive running community investment and left him with three simple,spontaneous questions:Why do we have to give the bank’s money away,how do I know you are giving it to the right people and how do we know if it’s helping the community?
The answers weren’t readily available. The bank polled six large companies and found that none of them had the right management structure to answer all the questions. So all the organizations came together to create the London Benchmarking Group to measure all aspects of community investments. Today the LBG has more than 100 corporate members,and many British companies have international reputations for leading in the area of corporate social responsibility.
