WASHINGTON, D.C.- November 8, 2007 - The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Business Civic Leadership Center (BCLC) today announced the winners of the 2007 Corporate Citizenship Award. Five businesses were honored for their outstanding leadership and commitment to their communities.
"Businesses are being asked to take on more social issues than ever before, and many of them are stepping up to address these challenges and work for the public good," said BCLC Executive Director Stephen Jordan. "These awards are our way of saying thank you to these businesses and their nonprofit partners for their stellar achievements."
The Corporate Citizenship Awards were given at BCLC's 8th annual dinner and celebration at Washington, D.C.'s National Building Museum. They were presented awards in the following categories:
Three different sets of voting methods were used to determine the winners. The Stewardship Awards were determined by a panel of distinguished Americans chaired by Harvard University professor Michael Porter. The Service Awards were determined by a vote of past Award winners, and the Partnership Award was determined by an online vote in which more than 24,000 people participated.
