Points of Light, a nonpartisan, global nonprofit organization, annually surveys and announces honorees for The Civic 50, recognizing them as the most community-minded companies in the United States. Included in this year's honorees were three consultancies: Deloitte, KPMG LLP and Tata Consultancy Services.
The Civic 50 program honors top companies for corporate citizenship, social impact and community engagement. Honorees are companies with annual U.S. revenues of at least $1 billion and are selected based on four dimensions of their corporate citizenship and social impact programs – investment of resources, integration across business functions, institutionalization through policies and systems and impact measurement.
Each of these consultancies has been included in The Civic 50 for multiple years. Both Deloitte and KPMG LLP have made the list for six consecutive years and Tata Consultancy Services has been included for five consecutive years.

In 2021, Points of Light introduced new questions in The Civic 50 survey to better understand companies' progress on commitments to racial equity and their communities. "Points of Light believes that corporate leadership and commitment to civic engagement is critical to strengthening communities," said Natalye Paquin, president and CEO, Points of Light.
Paquin continues, "This year's honorees of The Civic 50 collectively gave $2.5 billion to their communities – and had nearly 400,000 employees volunteer for more than 7 million hours. We also saw them take action on key issues – 100% of The Civic 50 companies took action on issues of racism and equity, through supporting community organizers, conducting or supporting research, using their voice to raise awareness and more. In addition, 88% of the companies also gave time off or schedule flexibility to vote. We thank these leaders for their investment and look forward to supporting them in leveraging their time, talent and assets to make transformational change."
The Civic 50, launched in 2012, provides a roadmap for good corporate citizenship, and showcases how committed companies are moving social impact, civic engagement and community to the center of their business. Consulting magazine salutes Deloitte, KPMG LLP and Tata Consultancy Services for setting the pace for our industry in community-minded operations and corporate citizenship.
