“The EY Global CSR program is called Ripples and it perfectly describes the impact of this immersive project with SVP Denver. Even though we participated in training and meetings with our social mission orgs every couple of weeks, the ripples of impact are expanding day by day. These meetings became everyone’s favorite part of the week.”
