NEW YORK, March 6, 2025 /3BL/ - Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose (CECP) announces a new Innovation Partner, which is a collaboration designed to add efficiency to the process that companies undertake to complete the CECP Giving in Numbers™ survey, more easily extracting their companies’ data in a compatible format. Bonterra is the newest addition to companies using software from CECP’s Innovation Partners. This partnership model is designed to support how companies use their corporate social investment data to make greater impact.
"Our collaboration with these Innovation Partners prioritizes how to more efficiently meet companies’ needs," said Daryl Brewster, CEO of CECP. "With corporate leaders being pulled in multiple directions, these partnerships simplify measurement processes and enhance the user experience across software platforms and CECP’s Giving in Numbers Survey. Our focus remains on improving efficiency and reducing duplication, ensuring that companies can maximize their impact in their communities."
Drawing from the Giving in Numbers™: 2024 Edition, the premier industry survey and research providing standard-setting criteria in a go-to guide, CECP found that 87% of surveyed companies reference applying their corporate purpose as they made business decisions outside of social investments. Recognizing the significance of measurement and data, CECP consistently works to simplify the process for companies, enabling them to become increasingly up to date, knowledgeable, and strategic in their efforts.
“At Bonterra, our motto is “For the greatest good.” To us, that means using technology and data to make it easier for everyone — from nonprofits to foundations and companies — to achieve more for their missions,” said Scott Brighton, CEO of Bonterra. “Companies play an enormous role in the future of social good, and we’re proud that this partnership with CECP can ensure they can easily report and share knowledge, find inspiration, and grow their impact during a time when it’s needed more than ever.”
CECP’s Innovation Partners showcase their commitment to advancing industry benchmarking and trends. By simplifying data submissions, these partnerships enhance business case analysis, strategic benchmarking, and trend insights for leaders across all sectors who rely on the Giving in Numbers report. Corporate leaders interested in or already contributing to the research will benefit from pre-formatted data, reducing time and effort when completing the Giving in Numbers Survey.
