Transforming Employee Volunteering: From underused hours to strategic ESG impact 

A webinar for leaders & managers in ESG, CSR, sustainability, social impact and procurement

Despite 62% of UK companies offering paid volunteering days, 140 million hours went unused last year (Cebr). Too often, programmes are ESG tick-boxes - disconnected from UN SDGs, missing from TOM scoring, and lacking strategic measurement.

The opportunity

Strategic employee volunteering can be a powerful ESG lever delivering measurable impact across all three pillars:

• Environmental – Contribute to sustainability projects and climate action aligned with UN SDGs
• Social – Boost community impact, reputation, wellbeing, and workforce capability
• Governance – Provide robust ESG data, improve TOM scoring, and evidence impact to stakeholders

For procurement, it’s also a practical tool to engage suppliers and increase social value in the supply chain.

What you’ll learn

• Link volunteering to ESG goals, UN SDGs, and TOM measures
• Capture data to strengthen ESG and social value reporting
• Secure leadership buy-in and raise participation
• Use volunteering to engage suppliers and partners
