What is CECP?

CECP is a membership network for companies seeking trusted data, peer connections, and practical guidance to strengthen their social impact and business performance. We help corporate social impact leaders learn what works, benchmark against peers, and navigate emerging challenges with confidence. 

Do you work with only CEOs and Chief Executives?

No. While CECP was founded by CEOs and continues to convene chief executives, 93% of CECP members are focused on social impact, sustainability, corporate affairs, employee engagement, communications, corporate citizenship, corporate foundations, and related functions. 

What makes CECP different?

Most organizations offer either networking or research. CECP combines both, as members gain access to exclusive benchmarking data, a trusted peer network, and practical insights that help them make informed decisions and demonstrate value inside their organizations. 

How does CECP help companies navigate today's challenges?

Whether you’re responding to budget pressure, changing regulations, employee engagement questions, social impact strategy, or emerging business issues, CECP provides benchmarking, peer intelligence, and real-world examples from companies facing similar challenges. We help you understand what others are doing and what may work for your organization. 

Why do companies join CECP?

Companies join CECP to answer questions they can’t answer alone. Our members use CECP to benchmark against peers, connect with other leaders, stay ahead of emerging issues, and access practical insights that help them strengthen programs, defend investments, and make informed decisions.
