CSR Event

CSR 101: International Development

Description:
The realization of a connection between the daily operations of a company and the well-being of society is driving a more comprehensive approach to corporate citizenship, including social and environmental responsibility. While these models are slowly taking root in domestic business models within Europe and North America, they are essential in proactive and effective business development in international markets, especially within conflict and post-conflict countries trying to stabilize their economies.

The largest global brands are setting high standards of behavior in many aspects of business and wider social conduct, including Intel, Nike, BP, Kellogg, Avon, Dell, Shell, and Toshiba, among others.

While the ideology of CSR is firmly rooted within global business agendas, companies need to move from theory to concrete action to overcome obstacles when developing initiatives in conflict and post-conflict countries.
