Launching Investing in Society, a Sector-Wide Insights Collection

Companies issue an annual report every year but where can you find information about the corporate sector as a whole? Sure, indices can tell you lots about stock price, market cap, and EBITDA. In this modern age, expectations of companies go much further beyond financial performance. CECP is thrilled to launch Investing in Society, a digital collection that endeavors to focus on the most crucial insights of how the sector is faring beyond where the Dow closes.

Investing in Society will be updated over the coming months so set a reminder to check back. Investing in Society organizes insights in five areas – Priorities, Performance, People, Planet, Policies. Each section offers multiple compelling and practical examples of business at its best.
