Ms Catherine Heaney:

We conducted a survey ahead of the new action plans in early 2017. It was intended to examine sentiment, rather than the moneys donated. That was because many companies djd not give money away as such. Instead, they might volunteer staff hours or just focus on the workplace. Some 83% of businesses reported that they engaged in some kind of CSR activity. If that is something in which the committee is particularly interested, that is where engagement is useful. It is particularly the case if data will assist the committee in making the case for CSR. It is good to have data because they are measurable. That will be very useful in planning for the next action plan.
