Corporate Social Responsibility Event

These days, corporate citizenship is on everyone's agenda. U.S. businesses are creating new initiatives and adopting programmes at record pace. Yet, meeting the pressures of various stakeholders and optimising strategy to seize opportunities can be a daunting task. Even large global companies with decades of corporate citizenship experience are finding it difficult to navigate an ever-changing landscape while being pressured to do more. Today, stakeholders and society at large expect businesses to conserve energy and minimise their carbon footprint. Simultaneously, companies are driven by the bottom line and need to justify costs and new initiatives to shareholders.

How are U.S. businesses meeting the challenges? What opportunities do they see? How does globalisation affect corporate citizenship? Most importantly: What does a company need to do to be a good corporate citizen in the U.S.?

Find out the answers to these questions and more at a pioneering executive forum and research programme on the topic of Corporate Citizenship: Building a Sustainable Business. The programme will include the findings of a survey of 300 senior executives in the U.S. In addition, our analysis of the survey results will be presented in a 7,000-word white paper that will also include insights and case studies based on interviews with leading experts and practitioners in this area. The programme will culminate with an executive forum featuring the perspectives of several CEO's and other C-suite executives.

This landmark thought leadership programme will explore the opportunities and challenges of how businesses can be good corporate citizens in the U.S. and what their priorities are in such areas as:

• Corporate philanthropy
• Globalisation and the supply chain
• Companies, government and NGOs
• Environment, society and corporate governance
