Independence Blue Cross (IBX) was named an honoree of the Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia by the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia for the fifth straight year. This recognition, in partnership with globally recognized nonprofit Points of Light, Philadelphia Foundation as lead partner, and other local partners, celebrates companies that exemplify civic leadership.
Modeled after Points of Light’s national program, the Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia evaluates and recognizes civic-minded companies using their time, talent, and resources to create positive change within their organizations and communities.
IBX’s submission included information about the company’s Corporate Citizenship efforts, including the Blue Crew volunteer program, corporate giving and community support, and the Independence Blue Cross Foundation, an independent grantmaking organization funded by contributions from IBX.
Since 2011, the national Civic 50 has provided a national standard for superior corporate citizenship and has showcased how companies drive social impact in their business and within the community.
