Develop and improve the benchmarking procedure
Improve the implementation and management of their CCI programs

The LBG is used by more than 100 major companies like Vodafone, HSBC, Nestle, Diageo, Procter and Gamble both at international level and on important markets like the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany or Spain.
Professionals use LBG as the main source for consistent and comparable information regarding their financial, pro bono and volunteering contributions. Moreover LBG is used as a way to capture results and impacts that CCI initiatives generate in their companies and communities.
