New Survey Compares U.S., European Views on Business-NGO Partnerships


Ethical Corporation magazine has released new research comparing attitudes on business-NGO partnerships in the U.S. and Europe. According to the report, while U.S. companies are avid philanthropists, giving generously and usefully to all kinds of charitable causes, European companies have taken the lead in meaningful engagement with NGOs, say both U.S. and European observers.

The findings were released ahead of the organization's upcoming conferences on the same theme, to be held in London on March 28-29, and in New York City on May 9-10 2006.

The report is based on 100 interviews with business, NGOs, governments, trade unions, consultants, partnership "brokers," think tanks, and academics. Respondents spoke on condition of anonymity.
