The National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC) and Points of Light,  in partnership with Bloomberg LP, recently announced the results of The Civic 50, the first comprehensive scorecard of S&P 500 companies that best use their time, talent and resources to positively impact the quality of life in the communities they serve.


“NCoC is proud to be part of The Civic 50 launch,” said Ilir Zherka, Executive Director of NCOC.  “The Civic 50 demonstrates that the best companies in America are deeply committed to strengthening their respective communities. Leaders of these companies are aligning the expertise of their companies and people with the needs of their communities, and then measuring the impact of their programs. NCoC hopes The Civic 50 will spur companies throughout our country to do the same.”


Rankings were based on seven key engagement categories:

Measurement and strategy—program structure and the metrics used to evaluate its success
Leadership—involvement of the highest levels of a corporation
Design—participation of corporate departments in program activities and direction
Community partnerships—working with partners, such as nonprofits and other companies
Employee civic growth—contributions to the personal growth and engagement of employees
