Giving in Numbers – Reaffirming That Purpose and Financial Performance Are Not Mutually Exclusive
According to a study by the Reputation Institute, there is a direct correlation between the overall value of a business to its philanthropic nature and breadth of its corporate citizenship initiatives. The study finds that a 10% improvement in perceived corporate citizenship can translate to a 11% improvement in overall reputation, which can lead to a 14% improvement in the company’s market value.
EY Beacon Institute and Harvard Business Review’s (HBR) report found that 58% of companies with a clear sense of purpose increased revenues by more than 10% in the last three years, compared to 42% among companies with a less clear sense of purpose. Companies that increased total giving between 2014 and 2016 by 10% or more had higher median growth rates between 2014 and 2016 in terms of revenues (+4.1%) and pre-tax profit growth (+7.6%) than all other companies. All other companies with total giving growth rates of less than 10% saw negative median revenue growth rates (-6.1%) and negative median pre-tax profit growth (-6.4%). This implies an association of the intrinsic relationship between financial performance and addressing the needs and desires of social stakeholders.
