Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey has been named a 2025 honoree of the Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia for the third consecutive year by the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia in partnership with globally recognized nonprofit Points of Light and others.
Modeled after Points of Light’s national program, the Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia measures and recognizes civic-minded companies using their time, talent, and resources to drive social impact within their organizations and communities – setting the standard for civic engagement in the region.
Jonathan Pearson, executive director of the Horizon Foundation for New Jersey and corporate social responsibility at Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, said the honor holds special meaning.
“Horizon is deeply honored to receive the Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia recognition, which reflects our ongoing commitment to creating meaningful, lasting impact in the communities we serve and aligns closely with our mission to empower our members to achieve their best health,” he said. “This recognition inspires us to continue building partnerships that uplift lives and expand opportunities for all.”
The 2025 Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia honorees represent private and public companies, as well as nonprofits, agencies, and institutions (e.g., hospitals and universities) of more than 10 employees operating in the 11-county Greater Philadelphia region. They have been selected based on four dimensions of their community engagement program:
- Investment of resources;
- Integration across business functions;
- Institutionalization through policies and systems; and
- Impact measurement.
Since 2011, the national Civic 50 has provided a national standard for superior corporate citizenship and has showcased how companies drive social impact in their business and within the community.
“The Chamber is proud to recognize Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey as a 2025 honoree of the Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia,” Chamber CEO Chellie Cameron said. “Each of this year’s honorees are valued members of Greater Philadelphia’s business community, exemplifying what it means to be a positive corporate citizen and demonstrating the power of service. We thank Horizon for their efforts to drive impact and congratulate them on this tremendous achievement.”
