Bath & Body Works' ongoing commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives has recently garnered recognition from PR News at the 2024 Impact Communications Awards. These accolades spotlight communicators who leverage their platforms to enhance both local and global communities.
One noteworthy achievement is Maureen McHugh, an associate at Bath & Body Works, being honored with the Corporate Citizen of the Year award. This prestigious acknowledgment is bestowed upon professionals who lead the charge in corporate social responsibility endeavors and consistently champion social causes within their organizations.
