Intertek 5th Annual Corporate Social Responsibility Conference
"Partnering for Progress, Sharing Ideas and Best Practices: Implementing CSR in Global Supply Chains"
(CSRwire) NEW yORK - March 10-11, 2005 W Hotel, New York, NY
Today's business environment is filled with higher expectations of
corporate social responsibility (CSR) supply chain programs, increasing
demands for measurement and transparency in reporting, and greater
expectations for effective and sustainable remediation efforts.
Increasingly, CSR leaders are turning to the power of partnership within
industries, across sectors, and among varying constituencies, to apply
market leverage, improve social conditions, develop innovative policies
that create efficiencies for producers and their customers, and achieve
true CSR sustainable improvements in the workplace conditions of global
supply chains.
Designed specifically for policymakers and practitioners, INTERTEK's 5th
Annual Social Responsibility Conference provides an intimate forum for CSR
leaders to gain insight and understanding and to interact with peers from a
wide range of sectors. Plenary sessions, panel discussions, small-group
workshops, and facilitated roundtable discussions foster a dynamic
exchange of ideas, best practices, and innovative solutions. During the
conference and side events, participants will gain insights that they can
apply to their own businesses and will have ample opportunity to build
relationships with other CSR leaders.
Highlights of the conference include:
Keynote Speaker: Mr. Nigel Twose, Manager of the Foreign Investment
Advisory Service (FIAS) located in the Investment Climate Department of
the Private Sector Development Vice-Presidency Unit, jointly operated by
