DESCRIPTION:

NEW YORK, May 23, 2022 /3BL Media/ - This week, Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose© (CECP) is bringing together 200 senior corporate leaders and corporate responsibility professionals from the world’s leading global companies for the 19th CECP Summit: Shaping the Future.

Occurring in person for the first time in two years, the CECP Summit will feature leaders engaging and learning together about powerful insights on trends, partnerships, and the impact of creating a better world through business. The variety of session topics reflect the many issues companies are currently facing to create long-term value for all stakeholders, such as: diversifying the talent pipeline; the role of business in response to the Ukraine crisis; women’s leadership and gender equality; advancing equity through employee resource groups; what’s next for corporate social responsibility (CSR); and more.

“The corporate leaders who gather at the CECP Summit have a wealth of experiences to share with one another, particularly given the needs met and leadership provided by businesses over the past couple of years” said Kari Niedfeldt-Thomas, Managing Director, CECP. “CECP’s Summit provides corporate leaders an opportunity to discuss with their peers how they will both respond to relevant crises now, and also how they set long-term goals for the future such as creating an inclusive and diverse workforce, communicating sustainability commitments, and measuring societal impact.”

The Summit includes the presentation of the Charles H. Moore Award for Leadership in Corporate Community Engagement. The 2022 “Charlie Award” is awarded to Harriet Dominique, retired Chief Diversity, Inclusion, and Corporate Responsibility Officer, USAA. The award is named in honor of CECP’s founding Executive Director and is presented to senior leaders who exemplify perseverance in the pursuit of societal advancement, the trait for which Charlie Moore was best known.

For over three decades, Harriet worked at USAA with values instilled by her parents: humility, faith, and service. She recently led all philanthropic and Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DE&I) strategies, including related investments, engagements, data and analytics, reporting, and oversight of corporate responsibility (CR) and communications. Under Dominique’s leadership, USAA developed a focused, data-driven, and results-oriented approach to CR strategies and impacts, aligned with USAA’s mission and brand. She oversaw the transformation of the USAA Educational Foundation to improve financial readiness among military service members and their families. Additionally, she drove significant, increased commitment for USAA CR, more than doubling their financial investment to 1% of pre-tax income, and the addition of two paid volunteer days. Lastly, she led the development of USAA’s strategic vision and imperative to advance DEI, to include a three-year $50 million philanthropic commitment to help close gaps in education, job training, employment, and wealth building.

“Charlie Moore was always in relentless pursuit of positive change and a true advocate for business as a force for good in society,” said Harriet Dominique, retired Chief Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Corporate Responsibility Officer, USAA. “Which is why I am humbled to receive this award from CECP, a purpose-driven organization that sets the standard for corporate philanthropy. Additionally, I remain grateful for my 30 plus year career with USAA, a mission-driven association. And to my fellow corporate change makers: thank you for being the key to addressing some of our communities’ greatest challenges.”

CECP will also share with attendees’ the first look at data from the 2022 Giving in NumbersTM Survey. Giving in Numbers is the premier industry survey and research, providing standard-setting criteria in a go-to guide that has defined the field and advanced the movement. Over 20 years, CECP has created the largest and most historical data set on trends in the industry, shared by more than 585 multi-billion-dollar companies, representing more than $312 billion in corporate social investments. See the new 2022 infographic. Thank you to our Giving in Numbers sponsors PwC and Newman’s Own Foundation.
