Ethics in Action - A Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility

Today ethics is implicitly a part of most corporations’ CSR strategy. Many companies believe that they should do no harm and act in a socially responsible manner. But who are the exemplar corporations and what are they doing creatively to improve social impact, their company’s bottom line and employee engagement?

Join the Rutgers Institute for Ethical Leadership (IEL) at its Fourth Annual Ethical Leadership Conference, titled Ethics in Action – A Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), on April 19, 2013, at the Newark Museum to hear from top academic and business experts in the field.

Participants will hear first-hand from exemplar corporations about current strategies and trends, and discuss the future and what leaders in the field are doing to creatively improve society and their company’s bottom line.
