DESCRIPTION:

NEW YORK, May 25, 2021 /3BL Media/—Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose© (CECP) is bringing together more than 300 leaders from the world’s largest global companies for the 2021 CECP Summit: Strength in Solutions. The 18th CECP Summit gathers corporate responsibility professionals who create and implement societal investment strategies at the world’s large companies.

Held virtually due to the global pandemic, this year’s CECP Summit features leaders who are taking a long-term view while responding to stakeholder needs in the moment. The variety of topics addressed reflect the many issues companies are addressing in their effort to create long-term value for all stakeholders: creating conditions for boys and young men of color to thrive; the role of business and the Covid-19 vaccine; women’s advancement and gender equality; digital inclusion; rebuilding the economy through good jobs; carbon neutral and climate change; stakeholder capitalism; and mental health and leadership.

“As the world looks to re-open and recover, the CECP Summit offers a vital venue for companies to continue to learn from each other and their stakeholders,” said Kari Niedfeldt-Thomas, Managing Director, CECP.  “Companies have an important role to play in being a ‘force for good’ and they can magnify this impact by sharing best practices, redefining how they invest in society, and collaborating with their peers.”

The Summit includes the presentation of the Charles H. Moore Award for Leadership in Corporate Community Engagement. The 2021 “Charlie Award” is awarded to Tae Yoo, Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs and Corporate Social Responsibility, Cisco. 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. 

The catalyst for Cisco’s CSR vision, Tae leads the company’s social investments as well as champions environmental efforts and a triple bottom line framework across the business. She drives a strategy that engages public-private partnerships and leverages Cisco’s business, technical, and financial assets to advance sustainable, inclusive impact in communities around the globe. After a commitment in 2016 to positively impact 1 billion people by 2025, 527 million people have already been impacted, primarily through social impact grants and efforts to catalyze an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Another key program is Cisco Networking Academy that, under Tae’s leadership, has become one of the largest ICT education programs in the world, reaching over 12.6 million students since its inception in 1997 and helping 2.7 million get jobs since 2005.

“Charlie was a true champion who lived his life with incredible passion and intention. He was relentless not only in his pursuit of Olympic Gold, but also in championing business as a force for societal good,” said Tae Yoo. “I am humbled and honored to help carry on Charlie’s legacy, working together with purpose-driven organizations like CECP and others to ensure we’re creating a better world through business--a world where everyone will be able to participate and succeed in the digital economy.”
