''Partnering for Progress, Sharing Ideas and Best Practices: Implementing CSR in Global Supply Chains''

Today's business environment is filled with higher expectations of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Supply Chain Programs, increasing demands for measurement and transparency in reporting and greater expectations for effective and sustainable remediation efforts. Increasingly, CSR leaders are turning to the power of partnership - within industries, across sectors and among varying constituencies - to apply market leverage, improve social conditions, develop innovative policies that create efficiencies for producers and their customers and achieve true CSR sustainable improvements in the workplace conditions of Global Supply Chains.

Designed specifically for policy-makers and practitioners, INTERTEK's 5th Annual Social Responsibility Conference provides an intimate forum for CSR leaders to gain insight and understanding and interact with peers from a wide range of sectors. Plenary sessions, panel discussions, small-group workshops, and facilitated roundtable discussions foster a dynamic exchange of ideas, best practices and innovative solutions. During the conference and side events, participants will gain insights they can apply to their own businesses, and will have ample opportunity to build relationships with other CSR leaders.

Highlights of the conference include:

Keynote Speaker: Mr. Nigel Twose, Manager of the Foreign Investment Advisory Service (FIAS) located in the Investment Climate Department of the Private Sector Development Vice-Presidency Unit, jointly operated by the World Bank and International Finance Corporation
