Last night was a big night for corporate citizenship, as the US Chamber of Commerce Business Civic Leadership Center awarded their annual Corporate Citizenship Awards to businesses that have exemplified ethical leadership and corporate stewardship. It was a great gathering and celebration of businesses from all different industries, such as Intel, UPS, Goldman Sachs, Estee Lauder, and CVS, that all clearly see the value in giving back to the community.

The winners of the night were:

All of the winners and runners up are doing amazing work in their communities nationally and internationally. It was terrific to hear the heartening stories of how these companies care. As they are getting more innovative with how they engage with their communities and nonprofits to create change, BCLC is applying innovative ways to communicate the good work they're doing! It was really fun for me to see how they integrated the use of social media into this year’s awards and event. For the first time ever, the Partnership Award winner was actually selected via a live public online vote via Just Means, a social media platform focused on CSR. More than 20,000 people visited the site and participated! And, at the event, there was live blogging and tweeting using the hashtag #bclcawards.
