A special report by the Maala ESG Index reviewing corporate initiatives during the last quarter of 2023 in light of the war.
The events of October 7 2023 and the “Iron Swords” war that followed created an unprecedented security and social emergency in Israel, placing Israeli society in a new and challenging reality with significant economic and social implications. Companies were required to adapt their operations and shift the focus of their corporate responsibility activities. The business sector demonstrated resilience and business continuity alongside significant mobilization to address the urgent needs of Israeli society, often drawing on the infrastructure and frameworks of corporate responsibility already in place prior to the war.
This report aims to consolidate and provide a broader overview of corporate initiatives during this period across the key social dimensions addressed by corporate social responsibility: employees, workforce diversity, procurement and suppliers, community engagement, employee volunteering, and customers.
The report was submitted to the President of the State of Israel as part of “Time to Talk – The President’s Initiative for Dialogue,” in which Maala is a partner.
