LBG : About the LBG

About the LBG

In 1994 six companies came together to evaluate their community investment programmes under the guidance of Corporate Citizenship. In doing so, they developed some basic common definitions and standards which they were subsequently asked to share more widely. This resulted in the formation of the London Benchmarking Group (LBG).

The following pages provide you with an introduction to the LBG including information on how it is goverened and the current members.

What is the LBG?
