The 2021 Corporate Citizenship Conference & Awards

America is poised to enter a new stage of the COVID-19 pandemic—one shaped by the business community’s vision, tenacity, and problem-solving skills.

The 2021 Corporate Citizenship Conference: Business Solves explored the evolving role of business in society and how the private sector continues to bring innovative solutions to the forefront. Discussions covered topics such as how the business community is responding to both new and persistent challenges as we navigate the pandemic, how far we have come in achieving racial equity, how businesses can rethink their purpose to deliver greater impact, and more.

The conference, which offered practical strategies from top social impact experts, was held in conjunction with our 22nd
 Annual Citizens Awards, honoring businesses for their extraordinary leadership in solving the world’s greatest challenges.

Despite our hope to gather in-person, based on feedback from our speakers, sponsors, likely attendees and the uncertainties of planning an in-person event at an external location; given the evolving situation with COVID-19, we decided to host this year’s annual Corporate Citizenship Conference & Awards virtually. We enjoyed hosting yet another premier event full of inspiring discussions and bringing together thousands of business leaders and CSR professionals. For any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to
