Corporate Responsibility in Russia and the UN Global Compact
(CSRwire) LONDON - Ethical Corporation will host a two-day conference from 7-8
June 2005 in St Petersburg, Russia, focusing on some of the essential
corporate responsibility issues in Eurasia. It will also highlight
opportunities for businesses incorporating the UN Global Compact
principles into their Russian and Eastern/Central European operations.
Over the two days, experts from leading multinational companies and
non-governmental organisations will share their knowledge and experience
of combining ethical and responsible practices with business growth and

issues affecting business reputation, this event aims to recognise ways
companies can maintain long-term profitability while simultaneously

off-the-record discussions, attendees will explore practical methods of
ensuring business practices positively reflect the 10 principles of the UN
Global Compact Initiative.

responsibility issues:

The real difference between corporate responsibility and philanthropy
The role of multi-lateral institutions in encouraging corporate
responsibility
