The London Benchmarking Group
The London Benchmarking Group was formed in September 1994. It comprises senior community affairs managers from leading UK headquartered companies. It was established to meet the need for accurate and comparable information about how different companies define, fund and manage their community involvement activities.
The LBG produced the London Benchmarking Group Model in 1997 which was then tested by a group of 18 companies across different industry sectors.
The model provides a basis to decide what is, and what is not, corporate community investment. It is devised around three main motives for corporate community investment (charitable gifts, community investment and commercial initiatives in the community) and distinguishes between "input" costs and "output" benefits.
The model is increasingly being adopted in the UK and internationally as a benchmarkable standard. Practical guidance on using it is available.
