Former Lloyds chair calls for new 21st century corporate philanthropy - Civil Society - Finance - News - providing news and in-depth coverage of charities, voluntary organisations and not-for-profits: "Sir Victor Blank, former chairman of Lloyds Banking Group, has called on businesses to recognise charity “not as an optional extra but as a core part of their responsibility”.

Commenting in The Telegraph on Saturday Sir Victor, who is also chair of reproductive health charity Wellbeing of Women and of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said that businesses which reject the opportunity now to make a difference will do so “at their peril”, advising that “customers are demanding responsible corporate citizenship”."
