Media Advisory: UNDP and Edelman Host Discussion on Business Involvement in Fighting Global Poverty

Published 05-03-05

Submitted by Edelman

What: Interactive breakfast panel discussion to examine the obstacles and opportunities for leadership through corporate responsibility to address the world's greatest challenge: global poverty.

Briefings from the UNDP on partnering with governments and businesses for local development projects throughout the world, Edelman on communication imperatives in the global marketplace, and EMF Films will preview highlights from an upcoming PBS documentary series and media project. There will be time for discussion among the panel members and audience.

Who:

  • Bruce Jenks, United Nations Development Programme
  • Joost van Loon, EMF Films
  • Chris Deri, Edelman

    Where: Delegates' Dining Room, United Nations (Room 6)

    When: Tuesday, May 10, 2005, 8:15 AM EDT

    Why: Companies increasingly recognize that managing risks and 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.
