Corporate Philanthropy in Pakistan 2008: Survey of public listed companies

Abstract

The survey for 2008 is fifth in line of the research publication on Corporate Philanthropy by the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP). Using the first comprehensive report, "Corporate Philanthropy in Pakistan: the Case of Public Listed Companies, 2000-2003" as the basis, the Centre initiated annual surveys covering the 2004 to 2007 time period which documented the philanthropic contributions of Public Listed Companies (PLCs) in those years. Following the patter of earlier surveys, the current survey captures the volume, dimensions, and range of corporate philanthropy. Additionally, however, it contains deeper insight into the giving trends of the Commercial Banking sector.
