The 1990’s
The 90s was a period of rapid growth and expansion, with many new campaigns coming on board, and membership continuing to climb.
Most significantly this decade saw the professionalisation of CSR, moving from off the side of the Chairman’s desk to into new departments run by professional CSR managers with budgets, targets and KPIs.
JULIA CLEVERDON TAKES OVER AS CEO
1992 – 2008
Julia was CEO for 16 years and oversaw a period of significant
growth and campaigning. Turnover grew to just under £25m and membership stood at 800
companies. She pioneered the “Seeing is Believing” programme with The Prince of Wales; taking pinstripes – nearly always white and male – into deprived communities, failing schools and run-down housing estates to show them the deprivation just outside the factory gates and their smart new offices. Many new campaigns began under Julia which have borne the test of time and remain key initiatives to this day.
