ST. PAUL, Minn., June 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte has been recognized as one of the most community-minded private sector organizations in the nation as part of The Civic 50, a Points of Light initiative that sets the standard for corporate civic engagement and showcases how companies can use their time, talent, and resources to impact the communities where they do business. Points of Light is the world's largest organization dedicated to volunteer service.

This year's Civic 50 winners were announced at The Civic 50 Gala at the Points of Lights Conference in St. Paul where corporate citizenship leaders from across the country gathered to discuss social innovation, civic engagement, and cross-sector collaboration.

"At Deloitte, we are committed to using our knowledge, skills, and experience to make a meaningful difference in the communities where we live and work. We are honored to be recognized for that as a part of The Civic 50 for the fourth consecutive year," said Doug Marshall, corporate citizenship managing director, Deloitte Services LP. "We understand that real and lasting impact requires collaboration with and support of nonprofit organizations and a commitment to civic engagement."

Deloitte encourages its professionals to make a meaningful impact in their communities year-round through pro bono service; giving; hands-on and skills-based volunteerism; nonprofit board service; and Impact Day, Deloitte's annual day of service. On June 7, Deloitte celebrated its 20th annual Impact Day and year-round commitment to community-powered social impact. Deloitte professionals in 80-plus cities across the country volunteered alongside nonprofits on more than 1,000 community service projects.

The Civic 50 winners are amongst a group of public and private companies with U.S. operations and revenues of $1 billion or more. Winners are selected based on four dimensions of their U.S. community engagement program: investment, integration, institutionalization, and impact.

"The Civic 50 truly highlights the commitment of community and civic engagement of America's leading brands," said Natalye Paquin, president and CEO, Points of Light. "Points of Light believes that people drive change in addressing society's growing and most profound challenges. The business community plays an important role in creating and delivering innovative solutions that drive social good in the communities where they live and work."
