In 2007, LBG Associates and LBG Research Institute had anticipated this need and published Global Community Involvement, a research study that provided the first comprehensive look at companies taking their community involvement programs global. That study led companies to better questions and new solutions, so LBG Associates took the research one step further.

To gather this information, LBG Associates interviewed 36 multinational companies and six service providers.
