Managing partnerships in the future will require new skills and techniques. New ESG linkages will forge unique relationships between finance, transportation and manufacturing functions. Multi-dimensional roles, integrity, intellectual property and due diligence will circumscribe the strategic value of ethical social responsibility. This conference will look at such issues in the developed and emerging world markets with an eye to  helpful and  disruptive technologies and social forces and the impact on the business model.

A pre-conference (click here for details), pragmatic seminar on sustainability reporting, will discuss integrated reporting, risks and transparency and highlight best practices from leadership companies. Additionally a post-conference workshop (click here for details) will devote 1/2 day to evaluation and metrics for ethics, sustainability and compliance management.

Benefits of attending

• Understand challenges of corporate social responsibility and ethics
• Learn from best practices and current research 
• Understanding risk, challenges and opportunities
• Examine changing global economies
• Inculcating CSR and ethics into the business strategy

Who should attend

Executives in charge of corporate citizenship, community involvement, corporate social responsibility and sustainability, business ethics & compliance, corporate communications, public affairs and public relations, foundations and contributions managers and other professionals responsible for integrating community and business management strategies across the global enterprise.
