Skillsoft’s 2022 CSR Report

INSIGHTS FROM 1,300+ PROFESSIONALS

Skillsoft’s first annual CSR survey asked professionals in a variety of industries and job functions to share how their organizations are approaching CSR. Our goal is to help benchmark our collective progress in corporate social responsibility so we can all have a more informed picture of the CSR landscape moving forward. Look at what we learned.
