identifying opportunities around social and environmental issues is
critical for long-term success and performance.
Successful corporate responsibility strategies and initiatives are based
on meaningful relationships with a network of stakeholders.
However, engaging these stakeholders in dialogue on difficult issues can
often be challenging. For companies wrestling with how to engage
stakeholders on this ubiquitous problem, the discussion will spark
critical thinking and offer tangible solutions. The discussion will offer
strategies and solutions for tackling issues at the intersection of
business and development.
